BRP Geheimhouding
A Dutch confidentiality request that stops your municipality from sharing your residents-database details with certain third parties.
Full definition
The BRP (Basisregistratie Personen) is the Dutch municipal residents' database. You cannot opt out of being registered, your gemeente (municipality) is legally obliged to record you, but you can request "geheimhouding" (confidentiality), which blocks the municipality from sharing your data with non-obligated third parties such as churches, sports associations, and other non-government bodies. Government bodies that are legally entitled to the data still receive it. Geheimhouding is the standard Dutch step for limiting downstream sharing of your registered details and is paired with KvK address shielding for residents who also run a business.
