Accessing, updating or deleting your personal information
You have a right to access personal information we have about you. You can also ask us to update our records if you believe this information is incorrect or incomplete.
How to access or update your personal information
To submit a request to access or update your personal information, complete the Personal information request form (‘Verzoek persoonsgegevens’) on Mijn UWV. You will need either a DigiD account or a valid European electronic ID (‘Europees erkend inlogmiddel’) to do this.
To check which information UWV has about you, log onto Mijn UWV and go to your Werkmap. Here, you will find your annual income statement (jaaropgaven), your pay statements and an overview of your employment history and payslip information. These documents contain a lot of the personal information UWV has about you.
How to delete your personal information
You have a right to ask us to delete your personal information. You can do this by using the same form that you would to submit a request to access or update your personal information. Keep in mind that in most cases, we will refuse such a request. This is because we are obliged to keep hold of your data to comply with legislation and to carry out our duties as a government agency.
What can you expect after submitting your request?
We will confirm that we have received your request within 5 days of you submitting it. We will do our best to process your request within 1 month. If we are not able to respond within this time, we will let you know. You will hear from us within 3 months’ time at the very latest.
