Name, sex and year of birth collected in accordance with Danish law and under a contract with the Danish state for all travellers on the Køge-Sassnitz, Køge-Rønne, Aarhus-Odden and Odden-Ebeltoft crossings will be deleted when the ferry arrives at the final destination, unless such data have also been given to Molslinjen A/S in another context such as for participation in competitions or for creation of a profile on Molslinjen A/S’ websites or app for quick check-in in connection with crossings for which the Danish state requires registration of names. Further details are available in the section on marketing.
