The RDW plays an important role in the implementation of the Heavy Goods Vehicle Charge Act (HGV Charge Act). The RDW manages the truck toll register and uses equipment to monitor whether the rules of the law are being followed. For example, cameras above the road. The RDW also carries out various activities relating to the truck toll on behalf of the Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management.
Purpose of processing personal data
The RDW processes personal data for the management of the truck toll register and for the supervision of compliance with the law. The register contains data that is necessary to properly implement the truck toll. In addition, the RDW processes personal data to automatically check compliance with the law.
Management of the truck toll register
The HGV Charge Act provides that a register must be maintained. Data is processed in this register that is necessary for the implementation of the truck toll. The RDW manages this register and is responsible for processing the personal data in the register. The personal data in the register will only be used for the implementation of the Act and to share data with organisations that need this data for their legal tasks.
Administrative supervision
The RDW monitors compliance with the rules of the HGV Charge Act. The RDW uses equipment for this. The RDW checks whether trucks comply with the obligations relating to the truck toll. The RDW processes personal data for this legal task. This will only happen if the processing is necessary to perform this task.
The RDW records the following data when a truck drives past the equipment:
- images of the vehicle, including number plates (individuals are not recorded)
- data from the onboard unit in the truck
- the place, date and time.
Central handling of privacy requests
The RDW has a coordinating role in relation to privacy requests. One central portal has been set up for this purpose. The RDW coordinates requests from data subjects and liaises with the other organisations involved. The RDW also registers data breaches that arise in the implementation of the truck toll.
Retention period
The RDW will not retain personal data for longer than is necessary for the performance of its statutory tasks. The law determines how long this type of data may be retained.
Sharing personal data with others
The RDW will only provide personal data to organisations involved in the implementation of the HGV Charge Act. This will only happen if this is necessary for their legal tasks or if the law permits such. Organisations involved are the Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management, the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT) and other authorised organisations within the truck toll.
Surveys
The RDW sometimes conducts surveys to improve the service, for example, regarding client satisfaction. The RDW sometimes uses:
- names and addresses from our registers
- telephone numbers and email addresses that you used to contact us
You may always refuse to participate in a survey. If you participate in a survey, the RDW will tell you what the survey is intended for. The results of the survey cannot be traced back to an individual unless you have given your consent. If you do not want to cooperate with surveys, please let the RDW know.
The purpose of processing data in connection with surveys
To improve the service.
Retention period
As soon as the personal data is no longer necessary for the survey, it will be deleted.
