In the past, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment (SZW) unlawfully processed personal data in investigations into Salafism and related topics. Persons whose contact details are known are actively informed about the processing of their data.

In some investigations into persons, organizations and networks within Muslim communities, personal data has been processed without informing those involved and without a legal basis for this. Minister Van Gennip apologized for this and informed the House of Representatives about the measures taken to restore trust between the government and Muslim communities.

People who want to know whether they appear in the relevant administration of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment can contact us.
Information requests can be submitted until March 31, 2024 via [email protected]. For other questions, please contact Central Government Information.

After data subjects have been given access, the ministry will destroy the personal data.
