"DigiD is owned by the government organization Logius, which has a contract with Solvinity until 2028. However, Solvinity has no role in the development or management of DigiD, the director of Logius emphasized to the House of Representatives. The company does have access to the email addresses of people with a DigiD account. "This is necessary for DigiD to function," the Logius director explained. Logius previously emphasized that DigiD will remain Dutch."
"BTI cannot prohibit a takeover itself. It advises the Minister of Economic Affairs. For example, the regulator may recommend that a takeover may only proceed if certain measures are taken to reduce risks. The regulator may also recommend blocking the takeover. Statistically speaking, this does not happen often. In 2024, for example, BTI assessed 52 companies, imposing conditions in three cases"
BTI is investigating Kyndryl's proposed acquisition of Solvinity, announced November 2025, because Solvinity runs the digital platform hosting DigiD. DigiD is owned by government organization Logius, which has a contract with Solvinity until 2028; Logius says Solvinity has no role in the development or management of DigiD but does access email addresses of DigiD account holders. Members of Parliament worry US laws could give the US government access to DigiD data or allow blocking of DigiD. BTI operates under the Vifo Act since June 2023, can advise the minister, recommend measures or blocking, and its probe could take months.
