Access to personal data is granted only to specific personnel employed by the data controller who need access for their tasks. Access to data is allowed only for employees of the data controller who require the data for their duties. The data controller restricts access rights to systems containing personal data and monitors their use. All personnel handling personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations.
