For instance, it may be necessary to pass on your address to our contractors to send you a prize. Deutsche Post may disclose your personal data if, in connection with submitting the information, you consent to such disclosure; and the committee may disclose contact information for you in response to inquiries by bona-fide rights owners in connection with allegations of infringement of copyright or other proprietary rights arising from information you have posted on the Discover Logistics website or otherwise provided to Deutsche Post.
