A European digital identity: your key to safe an easy life online
Today, the digital world is an integral part of our daily lives. We use it for communication, online shopping, banking and much more. But with all these online activities also come security risks and privacy concerns. This is where a groundbreaking development comes in – European digital identity.
Imagine having a single key to manage your online life – a digital identity that allows you to identify yourself and decide what personal data to share. This is exactly what the European Digital Identity promises to provide to every EU citizen, resident and business who wants it.
So, how does it work?
In a nutshell, all EU citizens and residents can choose to create a personal digital wallet in which to store their digital identity. It is like a digital safe, accessible only to you, in which you can store your official identity data. The idea is that you can use this identity to safely and easily identify yourself in all kinds of situations, both online and offline.
And here’s the great part: you are in control! You decide what information you want to share and with whom. Whether it is government agencies, companies or other organisations in the EU, you remain in control of your personal data. This means more privacy and more control over your digital life.
Creating your European digital identity is not only easy but also secure. Strict security measures will be in place to ensure that your data remains protected from misuse and unauthorised access.
But what does this mean concretely for you?
Imagine you want to open a new bank account online. With your European digital identity, you can easily identify yourself without having to produce all kinds of documents. The same goes for filing tax returns, applying for a passport, getting medical services, and so on.
De Europese digitale identiteit zal niet alleen jouw leven gemakkelijker maken, maar ook bijdragen aan een meer efficiënte en veilige digitale samenleving in de EU. Het zal de bureaucratische rompslomp verminderen, tijd besparen en de kosten voor zowel burgers als bedrijven verlagen.
With European digital identity, we are taking a big step forward in the digital revolution. It is an opportunity to make our digital world safer and more user-friendly for everyone.
