Using a secured VPN in the Netherlands is your legal right
The Dutch government has a reputation for being the surveillance king of Europe. In fact, the Netherlands is considered to be one of the world's most phone-tapped countries.
Until recently, the Dutch government’s surveillance for internet activity was almost non-existent. But in 2017, they passed The Internet and Security Services Act. This allows the government to tap users’ online activity in an entire neighborhood if a single suspect lives in that area. They can also hack connected devices, share the collected data with intelligence agencies, and add citizens to a secret DNA database.
Protecting your private information should be a priority, and the best choice is to use a VPN. Thankfully, the legislation in the Netherlands does not forbid it.
Your online activity is being meticulously traced
Dutch ISPs keep logs of your data to share with the intelligence service, AIVD; as well as its military service, MIVD.
Generally speaking, the data retention directive written into EU law allows the government to store your info for a period of 6 months and up to 1 year. However, making matters worse for Dutch citizens is the fact that the Netherlands is part of a surveillance organization called the 9 eyes.
The other 8 member states are the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Denmark, France, and Norway. All these countries are sharing the data they collect between each other.
So even if your data is collected in the Netherlands and deleted after 6 months, it could be stored for much longer in one of the other countries. In short, it’s never really gone.
The Netherlands is clamping down on torrenting
For years, downloading video and music content without paying for them was permitted by the Dutch government. Although, they did impose a piracy tax on copyrighted media.
However, the European Court of Justice decided that this tax was a threat to the market and was putting copyright holders at an unfair disadvantage.
So, just like any other European country, the Dutch government had no other choice than to start banning torrenting sites and to impose laws that forbid torrenting.
For total peace of mind, use CyberGhost VPN to fully encrypt your digital activity. That way, you’ll know for a fact that your downloads aren’t being monitored.
Bypass international streaming restrictions
No matter what streaming services you subscribe to, whether it’s Netflix, HBO NOW, Amazon Prime, Hulu, or anything else, you might have noticed that in the Netherlands, you’re not able to access a full library of content.
The reason behind it is geo-restrictions. You see, streaming services use your dedicated IP to determine your location and then choose the content you see. This isn’t fair to you and leaves you in a tough spot. You can either give up on your favorite entertainment or risk legal repercussions for downloading copyrighted content.
Don’t panic! This is a problem CyberGhost VPN can help you with. Through our virtual private network, we make sure to hide your IP address and replace it with one from our system. This way these services won’t be able to tell your real location anymore and you will get access to the entire catalogs of your favorite streaming services.
