Tour operators and airlines, bus and train companies collect and use travel data in the first place to offer their services. Sometimes they are also obliged to collect certain travel data and pas them on, for example to the police. We call these data passenger data then.
There are 2 types of passenger data: PNR data and API data. Strict statutory rules apply for the transmission and use of passenger data.
Data of travellers can also be collected in other ways. For example, using camera monitoring in traffic. With cameras that register registration numbers of vehicles passing by on roads and motorways. This procedure is also used for automatic toll levying.
