KvK Address Shielding (Afschermen)
The Dutch process of shielding a visiting or home address in the KvK trade register when the registrant meets the current eligibility rules.
Full definition
In the Netherlands, businesses register in the KvK (Kamer van Koophandel) Handelsregister, and for sole proprietorships (eenmanszaken) the visiting address may be a home address. KvK materials describe shielding options and conditions, including the need for a separate postal address in relevant cases; other entities and officials can have different rules. Shielding at the KvK does not automatically undo data already copied by online brokers, so a separate GDPR request may be relevant when its requirements are met. Review the current KvK route for the entity and risk facts.
