OTE SA / Cosmote SA
How to interpret the figures?
- The stated amounts represent the number of requests. The numbers in the following table represent distinct phone numbers. If for any reason there were multiple inquiries for the same phone number (e.g. prolongations), this is only counted once; “Subscriber master data” is the number of customers, on which the authorities have asked for personal data (name, address, etc) based on their phone number.
- OTE SA and COSMOTE SA does not store the communication content of its customers in its systems.
