seeks to track users who infringe on the copyright of BREIN's
affiliated parties. The personal data to be processed includes IP
addresses and user names, and the scope of the investigation is
limited to productions of parties affiliated with the BREIN
foundation and to Dutch users of the BitTorrent network.
