registranten

Registranten are individuals who have completed a registration for a service, event, or formal record, and are listed in a registry or database. The term is used in Dutch and other languages to distinguish those who have registered from other participants or non-registrants. A registry may be maintained by governments, organizations, or platforms to enable verification, communication, or eligibility assessment. The data associated with registranten typically include identifiers such as name, contact details, a registration timestamp, and a unique registration number, along with status information (active, cancelled, archived). The scope of registratie can range from voting registration, professional licensing, healthcare patient registries, to attendees of conferences and users of online services.

Contexts and examples: In elections, registranten are those whose names appear on the official voter list. In healthcare, professionals may be registranten in a medical or nursing registry, ensuring licensure and scope of practice. In research, study registrants are participants who have consented to be contacted and included in a cohort. In online platforms, registrants are users who have created an account and have an ongoing relationship with the service.

Privacy and rights: Registranten have rights under applicable data protection laws to access, rectify, or delete their data, and to object to processing under certain circumstances. Organizations should apply data minimization, secure storage, and defined retention periods, and provide opt-out options for communications.
