3 Feb 2026 Gemeenten Delft, Ede, Eindhoven u. a. (10 Gemeinden)AP: €25,000 each for ten municipalities over analyses of Muslim communities NetherlandsData protection €250,000

Ten municipalities (Delft, Ede, Eindhoven, Gooise Meren, Haarlemmermeer, Hilversum, Huizen, Tilburg, Veenendaal and Zoetermeer) had received, stored and used analyses of the local Islamic community prepared by an external research firm (mostly so-called power-field analyses, in Haarlemmermeer a quick scan), which also contained information on the religion and other sensitive characteristics of individuals. On 3 February 2026 the AP (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, Dutch data protection authority) imposed 25,000 EUR on each board in separate decisions (250,000 EUR in total); for seven municipalities it also restricted further processing of the analyses to handling data subject rights and court proceedings.

What organisations can take from it

Anyone taking over externally prepared reports containing information on religion or belief is themselves processing special category data and needs their own exemption for doing so.
