May a company process Danish civil registration numbers?
Private parties may process a civil registration number where a statute so provides, where the data subject has given explicit consent, or where processing is necessary for unambiguous identification or required by a public authority. The number may not be published without consent and may not be used as an ordinary customer reference.
