“‘False negatives, false positives and prediction errors are risks, no matter how small. Using probabilistic methods to process personal data may lead to non-compliance with the GDPR, particularly in terms of the accuracy principle and meeting the requirements to pass an effectiveness test successfully,’ […]. But probabilistic methods as part of a larger system are okay, as long as ‘data processing is executed with the operations required to detect and manage the inaccuracies or errors produced by probabilistic operations in specific cases.’ […] So, can safeguards to protect children from being exposed to certain content, services, contracts or goods on the Internet be based exclusively on facial age estimation?

"The lead privacy watchdog for X (formerly Twitter) in the European Union has ended court proceedings against the social media platform for processing user data for Al model training without people's consent. This comes after it said the company had agreed to permanently abide by an undertaking made last month in front of an Irish High Court judge. X agreed to suspend its processing of European users' data for Al model training in early August after Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) initiated legal action against the Elon Musk-owned company in relation to consentless use of people's information to train its Al chatbot, Grok." #Privacy #GDPR #dataprotection #XAITraining Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO.

“The FBI’s data handling practices were sharply criticized during a recent Justice Department (DOJ) audit, with the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) noting that the agency is failing to adequately control its storage media and that its disposal methods are potentially exposing sensitive and classified information. […] The OIG report points to serious issues with tracking of storage media, to include losing the chain of custody and records of current locations at times. This includes internal hard drives removed from computers classified as ‘Top Secret.’” #Privacy #GDPR #dataprotection #FBIData Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO.

"The Dutch Data Protection Authority (Dutch DPA) imposes a fine of 30.5 million euro and orders subject to a penalty for non-compliance up to more than 5 million euro on Clearview AI. Clearview is an American company that offers facial recognition services. Among other things, Clearview has built an illegal database with billions of photos of faces, including of Dutch people. The Dutch DPA warns that using the services of Clearview is also prohibited. Clearview is a commercial business that offers facial recognition services to intelligence and investigative services. Customers of Clearview can provide camera images to find out the identity of people shown in the images. For this purpose, Clearview has a database with more than 30 billion photos of people. Clearview scrapes these photos automatically from the Internet. And then converts them into a unique biometric code per face. Without these people knowing this and without them having given consent for this." #Privacy #GDPR #dataprotection #Clearview Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO.

"Dating apps have become an essential tool for people who are looking for a date or partner. When users create a profile, they enter a lot of personal data which they share with people who are still strangers at that point. Apps often give an indication of your location or the distance between you and your potential match. Some information you share intentionally. But other data you share without wanting to. This data can often easily be uncovered by someone with bad intentions and some knowledge of IT. Researchers from KU Leuven’s DistriNet research unit examined the fifteen most popular location-based dating apps (LBD). They discovered various safety risks, including leaks of sensitive data and exact user locations. They presented their findings to the app developers and most of them have made efforts towards better user data protection." #Privacy #GDPR #dataprotection #DatingApps #Location Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO.

"This week, Europe announced its latest jaw-dropping fine against yet another American company. Uber was fined $324 million for data transfers to the United States in violation of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The fine was retroactively levied for a period when Uber, like thousands of other companies, was plunged into legal limbo when the European Court of Justice struck down the U.S.-EU Privacy Shield Agreement governing data transfers. In a similar case, Meta was fined $1.3 billion. Curiously, neither Uber nor Meta was found to have violated the privacy of any European. Instead, the alleged violations resulted from transferring data from Europe to the U.S. during a period in which Europe’s highest court questioned whether such transfers were safe from unlawful access—by the U.S. government. There is no evidence that Europeans were being spied upon or that any of its citizens experienced identifiable harm from these transfers." #privacy #GDPR #dataprotection #usa #uber #meta Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO.

"The month kicked-off with the EU Artificial Intelligence Act entering into force 1 Aug. While the act's date of application is still two years away, AI developers and deployers must keep in mind that certain rules, such as prohibitions on unacceptable risk AI, take effect much sooner. EU and European Economic Area countries must identify national competent authorities by 2 Aug. 2025. Although most countries have not yet made their designations, certain trends are emerging. In August, Norway's data protection authority, Datatilsynet, stated it should be designated as a supervisory authority under the EU AI Act, as it has experience and expertise investigating the impact of AI technologies on citizens' rights. This is in accordance with the European Data Protection Board's recent statement on the role of DPAs in the AI Act framework. Datatilsynet is not the first DPA expressing its interest in this role. Italy's DPA, the Garante, stated the same earlier this year." #privacy #GDPR #dataprotection #iapp #ai #aiact Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO.

"Japanese auto giant Toyota Motor Corporation has confirmed yet another third-party data breach exposing sensitive information, after a threat actor leaked the stolen trove on an infamous dark web hacking forum. The cyber incident became public knowledge when ZeroSevenGroup claimed to have breached a Toyota U.S. branch and posted 240 GB of the allegedly stolen data BreachForums. [...] However, Toyota disputes the facts regarding the alleged North American cyber intrusion and shifted responsibility to a third-party vendor." #privacy #GDPR #dataprotection #toyota #databreach Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO.

"Labour has been criticised by the UK’s data protection watchdog for failing to respond to people who had formally asked the party for what information it held about them. [...] More than 350 people experienced long delays when they contacted the party with subject access requests – which anyone can use to ask organisations what personal information is being held about them. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) said the Labour party had been 'repeatedly failing' to respond to the request. It received 352 subject access requests (SARs) in November 2022, but 78% did not receive a response within the maximum compulsory time limit of three months and more than half (56%) were delayed by more than a year." #privacy #GDPR #dataprotection #ICO #labourparty Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO.

"A privacy class action against Google that was dismissed in 2022 has been given new life by an appeals court, potentially impacting Chrome users dating back to 2016. The suit was brought by users who say that the Chrome Sync feature collected personal information from those that chose to opt out of it, ignoring their preference to separate their Google accounts from their activity in the Chrome browser. The privacy class action was initially heard by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland, California, who dismissed it in December 2022 on the grounds that Google’s general privacy policy was sufficient to inform users of the possibility that the company might collect their information from any web browser. Judge Milan Smith of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said that the focus of that decision was 'misplaced' and that the ruling should have hinged on whether or not a reasonable user would assume their information was not being shared upon opting out of Chrome Sync." #privacy #GDPR #dataprotection #google #chrome Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO.
