Cameras, sensors and your privacy (in Dutch)

Cameras, sensors and your privacy

Governments, companies, science and research institutions are collecting more and more data in Amsterdam's public spaces. For research, a commercial purpose or for better performance of a government task. For example, panoramic and 3D images are being taken to capture the state of Amsterdam in 360° photographs. The images are taken with a special camera mounted on a car. The 3D recordings are made with so-called LIDAR scanners. The City of Amsterdam has been involved in creating panoramic images for some time.

We find it important to protect the digital rights of residents and visitors. That is why we are the first Dutch municipality to introduce a notification requirement for sensors in the public space. Residents and visitors will thus know who is collecting data where via sensors.

Report your sensor

Are you a professional party and do you collect data in public space via a sensor? Then you must report this sensor to the municipality. Your sensor will be included in the sensor register and appear on a public map.
