Products Where Lumen Does Not Process Personal Data of Customer’s End Users

 

Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of 27 April 2016, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), defines personal data as: “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.” Where Lumen cannot link an IP address or similar identifier to an individual with information reasonably available to Lumen, Lumen does not consider the IP address or similar identifier to be personal data.

 

In addition, for certain products, Lumen is acting as a “mere conduit” of traffic under Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2000 (the Directive on electronic commerce). Many Lumen products do not process Customer end user personal data in the course of providing service.
