The GDPR
To strengthen the individual’s rights to privacy, the European Union has established the General Data Protection Regulation or AVG. To strengthen the existing data protection guidelines, the AVG defines guidelines for companies that collect, store and process personal data. The European Union regulation applies to companies that process personal data of European residents and has an enforcement deadline of May 2018.
Effective compliance takes data privacy and security requirements into account, regardless of where your company is located or the industry in which you are a member. At PriPost we optimize our company and processes by adhering to the recommended standards and policy rules. That is why PriPost is able to offer you a robust and scalable structure for the safe processing of your data.
PriPost and its involvement with the GDPR
The AVG enforces cross-border data protection mechanisms for companies with activities in several EU member states. As the central supervisory authority, the AVR handles data protection issues for all international companies that process personal data.
PriPost is committed to offering safe products and services by implementing and complying with prescribed compliance policies, both as a data controller and processor. Enforcing the GDPR is crucial to our mission to provide the EU and all our global customers with secure and reliable mail-related services.

Questions and answers regarding privacy and your personal data
Individuals have the right to have their personal data removed, when no longer needed. ‘ The right to be forgotten ‘ is to support freedom of expression.
Due to legal obligations (WWFT), PriPost must establish and verify the identity of its customers. We do this by means of a copy ID. This can be an ID card, passport, Dutch driver’s license or Dutch aliens document. PriPost removes the copy immediately after the identity has been established.
Companies, associations or foundations must also provide a recent extract from the Chamber of Commerce and a UBO statement.
PriPost has the legal obligation to verify the identity of its customers on the basis of a valid identification document. You can upload a copy securely in the customer portal.

- Full name
- Date of birth
- Document number
- Type of document

What ID cards are being accepted?
- Passport
- National identification card (NIC)

The copy ID must be clearly legible. Also, front and back are often needed when information is stated on the back. If desired, you can cover the photo and the social security number. For foreign IDs, the MRZ code must be visible.
