Traffic fine and processing of personal data

If an investigative agency determines that you have committed a traffic violation, it can decide that you must pay a traffic fine. You will receive a letter from us about this. This letter is called a Traffic Fine.

As sending and collecting the traffic fine is a statutory task of the CJIB, our role for this task is that of controller.

What personal data do we process?

To collect a traffic fine, we need to process personal data. We receive these data from various organisations.
The data we can process for this task include:
•    Your IBAN
•    Your full name
•    Your address, postal code and town/city
•    Your date of birth
•    Your place of birth
•    Your vehicle registration number
•    Details about your vehicle
•    Details about the violation. These are, for example, the date of the violation and information about the established violation.

With whom do we share data?

We only share data with other parties if necessary.
If a violation has been committed with a vehicle for which a traffic fine is imposed, we share the vehicle registration details with the foreign authority responsible for vehicle registrations. This authority will then provide the details of the person to whom the vehicle is registered.

If you do not pay the outstanding amount of the traffic fine, we can place you in the investigation register. We can also transfer your case to a foreign agency for collection. We will then share your data with this authority.

The Education Executive Agency (DUO) prints and sends traffic fines for us. We exchange data with DUO for this purpose.
We also share your data with the Research and Documentation Centre (WODC) for the purpose of scientific research.

How long do we retain data?

According to the Ministry of Justice and Security’s selection list, we may retain personal data for collecting a traffic fine for five years after the case has been concluded.
