Sec 7 (3) ADPA provides that the processing of special categories of personal data for scientific, historical or statistical purposes requires an "important public interest".
Besides, the ADPA does not provide for any general rules for the processing of special categories of personal data.

Section 2-sexies, 2, letters from a) to v) provides provisions on the meaning of the 'substantial public interest' lawful basis for processing special categories of personal data under Article 9(2)(g) GDPR.
The UAVG allows derogations for personal data revealing racial and ethnic origin, religious or philosophical belief, and political opinions.

For racial and ethnic origin personal data, see Article 22, for religious or philosophical belief, see Article 29 and for political opinions personal data, see Article 3).
In relation to the processing of personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences or related security measures, a list of categories of parties that may process such data (Article 31 and wet politiegegevens & wet justitiële en strafvorderlijke gegevens) is provided - this is the same as current Dutch law on criminal data.
Under Article 25 UAVG, ethnic and racial data can be processed for positive discrimination/equal treatment purposes.
The Spanish Data Protection Draft Bill states that the exclusions for the processing of special categories of personal data contained in Article 9(2)(g), (h) and (i) GDPR shall be based on a law, which could establish additional requirements for their security and confidentiality.
