BES Islands: CBS BES issues guidance on GDPR compliance
The BES Islands' Commission for the Supervision of Data Protection ('CBS BES') issued, on 6 April 2018, guidance on compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) ('GDPR') ('the Guidance'). In particular, the CBS BES highlighted that entities should comply with the principles of the Act of May 17, 2010 Containing Rules on the Protection of Personal data of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba ('the Act') as these are in line with the GDPR, and recommend that entities take additional measures for data exchanges between Caribbean Netherlands and European Netherlands.
In addition, the CBS BES noted that the appointment of a data protection officer ('DPO') is not a requirement in the Caribbean Netherlands, however, if an organisation processes personal data on a large scale the CBS BES recommends the appointment of a DPO.
