Digital security and privacy of the highest level

Your personal data is important. That’s why itsme® respects eIDAS, the European regulation for electronic identification tools, and GDPR, the European privacy regulation, resulting in the best possible protection of your data.

Security at your fingertips

Literally. Your digital identity can only be used on your mobile phone, with your SIM card and your installed itsme® app. A unique combination which only gives you access to your personal data.

Only you know your code

There is no database with itsme® codes. That means you are the only person in the world who knows the 5-digit code to use your itsme®.

Secure network

Mobile interactions with itsme® do not take place over the regular Internet. They also use the highly-secured SIM card and the mobile operator networks. That explains the reliability of itsme®, because both your digital ID and your interactions are protected at all times.

Your data are protected

Belgian Mobile ID always encrypts your data, when stored or when communicated to a partner (when you agree to, off course) and protects all parties against attempts of fraud and tampering.

Data are securely stored in the safest Data Center in Belgium we could find and will not leave the EU.

You decide!

With itsme® it’s easy for you

  • to use your digital ID thanks to your mobile phone
  • to control the personal data that you share
  • to track your itsme® actions and history
  • to keep your operations secure
  • to allow partners to make sure what you agreed to

How does GDPR and itsme® help you to protect your privacy?

GDPR is the General Data Protection Regulation, a ruling intended to protect the data of the citizens of the European Union. This regulation is effective since 25th May 2018.

GDPR protects any information that can be classified as personal details or that can be used to determine your identity

  • Name
  • Photo
  • Email address
  • Social media posts
  • Personal medical information
  • IP addresses
  • Bank details

GDPR gives you back the control of your personal data and itsme® helps you to manage your digital ID.
