“Genetic, Biometric and Health-Related Data Processing

Additional organizational and security measures must be put in place by data controllers and/or processors that process genetic, biometric or health-related data. On the basis of the Belgian Act, they must designate specific personnel authorized to access such data, and identify their capacity in relation to the data processing. A list with this information should be compiled and kept at the disposal of the competent Supervisory Authority. In addition, they must ensure that these individuals are bound by confidentiality with regard to this data on the basis of either statutory or contractual requirements.”
