Municipality of Oss

About this organisation

Society is digitising rapidly. The use of algorithms gives us the opportunity to perform our work faster, more efficiently and more accurately. At Oss municipality, we think it is important to be as honest and open as possible about how we use these algorithms in our processes and systems. We continue to continuously improve our processes to ensure equitable use of technology.


In every deployment of algorithms, we carefully consider all ethical and privacy aspects. We always consider the interests of our residents. So we look not only at technology, but also at the social impact and the protection of personal data.
