Privacy declaration

The Belgian National Access Point for Intelligent Transport Systems (NAP ITS) is an initiative of the National Geographic Institute (NGI). For information regarding our organisation and your rights, you can access our privacy policy on the NGI website.

 

Specific data for this NAP ITS site (www.transportdata.be)

On 14/02/2020, the Belgian NAP ITS was established following the European ITS Directive, with the aim of making mobility in the European Union safer, more efficient and sustainable. The development and management of the Transportdata.be platform has been entrusted to the National Geographic Institute (NGI), at the request and on behalf of the ITS steering committee. The ITS steering committee comprises the federal and regional transport administrations involved in the implementation of intelligent transport systems in Belgium.

The NAP ITS centralises access to mobility datasets and services in Belgium on the portal www.transportdata.be. Consequently, the mission of the Belgian NAP ITS is to facilitate the reuse of mobility datasets and services by third parties such as travel information service providers and digital map producers.

However, as we process specific data in the context of the NAP ITS project, you will also find on our website the specific information on this project that complements the NGI's general privacy policy.

 

THE IMPORTANCE OF DATA PROTECTION

The Belgian NAP ITS is committed to the proper protection of the data it processes, especially personal data. By means of this privacy statement, the Belgian NAP ITS wishes to establish at a strategic level the way in which data is protected, the responsibilities assigned to it and the priorities set by the Belgian NAP ITS regarding data protection.

In this context, the Belgian NAP ITS takes into account all the requirements defined by the European legislation currently in force.

Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation)

SPECIFIC DATA PROCESSED IN THE CONTEXT OF OUR PROJECTS

The reason for collecting personal data as part of the NAP ITS project is based on a legal obligation. We ask stakeholders within the mobility sector to register the relevant datasets and/or services at their disposal on our portal in a specific format. In doing so, we also ask to register the personal data of a central contact point (concretely, it concerns a name, address, e-mail address and/or telephone number for this contact point) because users of the NAP ITS as well as the NAP helpdesk may wish to contact an organisation at a later date for specific questions regarding the dataset/service or to offer further information about the project. We collect the same type of contact data if you consent to subscribe to our newsletter.

 

The processing of personal data for the Belgian NAP ITS was defined in the processing agreement that the NGI concluded with the partners of the NAP project, the transport and mobility departments of the federal authority and the three regions. This processing agreement was signed on 22/06/2022.
