If you lived in Denmark between 2010 and 2012, it’s almost certain that your personal identification number (CPR number) and health information ended up in the hands of a Chinese company.

The Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet) said on Wednesday that
the CPR numbers of 5,282,616 people were mistakenly delivered to the
Chinese Visa Application Centre, a Copenhagen-based Chinese company.
A package sent by the Danish State Serum Institute (SSI) to Statistics
Denmark in February 2015 contained two CDs with the CPR number and
health information of over 5 million residents who lived in Denmark
between 2010 and 2012. The package, sent by registered mail, was
“delivered to the Chinese Visa Application Centre” by mistake,
Datatilsynet wrote.
When the letter later made its way to Statistics Denmark, the data agency said that it had been opened.
“The CDs contained information on personal [ID] numbers and health
information, but not names or addresses. The CDs were not encrypted,”
Datatilsynet wrote.
The data agency criticized SSI for sending unencrypted personal information through the post.
In a response to the data agency, SSI acknowledged that “we are talking
about sensitive personal data of a very extensive character and it
cannot be ruled out that it could have had concrete consequences for the
affected individuals if the information had actually reached
unauthorized individuals”.
SSI said however that it was of the “perception” that the information
“neither reached other people nor was seen by other people”.
