Dutch privacy negotiators have spurred major changes at Google, Microsoft and Zoom, using a landmark European data protection law as a lever.

Dutch technical expertise has helped privacy auditors gain unusually granular insights into how some of the largest software companies amass personal data on hundreds of millions of people. It has also allowed Dutch experts to call out companies for practices that appear to violate European rules.

“We are so small that, initially, many cloud providers just look at us, raise an eyebrow and say: ‘So what? You’re the Netherlands. You don’t matter,’” said Ms. Nas, who helped lead the Dutch negotiations with Microsoft, Zoom and Google. But then, she said, the companies begin to understand that the Dutch teams are negotiating compliance for the Netherlands with data protection rules that also apply across the European Union. “Then the tech providers realize that they won’t be able to supply their services to 450 million people,” Ms. Nas said.

In 2021, the Dutch audit of Google’s tools for schools, now known as Google Workspace for Education, reported that the products lacked certain privacy controls, transparency and contractual limits around their use of personal data. The education tools included apps like Gmail and Google Classroom, an online learning hub.

Google ultimately agreed to Dutch requests to significantly narrow how the company could use the personal data collected by its education tools — something that U.S. regulators had not accomplished.
