How do we verify the identity of persons who send their letters to the Data Protection Officer?

The Smithfield Polska Group makes sure that information about you as well as your personal data does not fall into the wrong hands. Therefore, in implementation of the rights resulting from art. 15 – 22 GDPR we comply with the principle of appropriate verification of the entity submitting the request for the exercise of rights, among others through the implemented identity verification system. This is necessary to ensure that the person who made the request is the same as the data subject and that the request will not be fulfilled at the request of an unauthorized person.

Therefore, for the appropriate protection of all personal data that is processed by the Smithfield Polska Group, regardless of the communication channel through which the request to exercise the rights will be sent – we will verify your identity, taking into account the principles set out in art. 12 GDPR.

Verification of identity will include:

  • contact using the contact details provided by you in the request itself, as well as previously held by us;
  • directing questions to you, formulated in such a way that they cannot be answered by a person who unlawfully came into possession of your identity document or uses data contained in public registers such as the National Court Register.

If you answer the questions correctly, you will be informed and we will proceed to process your request.

If you answer the questions incorrectly or for other reasons we will have doubts about your identity, your request may not be fulfilled, about which you will be informed, in such a situation however we may look for another way to carry out the verification together.

You will be informed if after receiving your request, it turns out that we do not have the information to carry out the verification process.
In this case you will be able to provide us with additional information enabling verification or lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority or seek legal remedies before a court.

Identity verification may take place through a different communication channel than the request to exercise the rights was received.

Identity verification may vary depending on the scope of your request.
