Trust: what Sophea does and does not do
Sophea works with the public data of the Dutch Key Register of the Subsurface (BRO). Here you can read what Sophea does with that data, with your areas and with your questions, and what it does not do.
What you can check
Seven commitments about the BRO, your areas and your questions.
- Read only
- Sophea only reads: it never changes, registers or delivers BRO data.
- Your shapefile stays on your computer
- Sophea reads it in the browser and sends only the outline.
- Your areas are private; the BRO data is shared
- The BRO data itself is public and shared: what one user loads is ready for the next.
- Answers marked as AI-generated
- Every answer is marked as AI-generated.
- The source with the answer, missing data named
- Sophea names the well and its BRO id in its answers, and keeps provisional and approved values apart. Always check the source yourself. When data is missing, Sophea says so and does not fill the gap itself.
- The judgement stays with the hydrologist
- Sophea is a support tool; you draw the conclusion.
- Access by invitation
- Access to Sophea is by invitation: Dawaco sets up each organisation and its users.

Status
Where Sophea stands today
Sophea is being prepared for its first organisations; access is by invitation. From day one, no other organisation sees your areas, chats, models or usage.
From day one, a second check reads the answer against the data it retrieved and flags a possible error.
BRO is used descriptively. Sophea is not a service of the BRO, TNO or the government; the data is public and belongs to its data owners (bronhouders), the public bodies that register it.
