💥 Just in! The dating app Grindr has been convicted in the Oslo District Court and must pay €5.65 million as a result of a Norwegian Consumer Council complaint from 2020. ⚖ The collection, sharing and use of personal data for commercial purposes is out of control – and is finally being cracked down on. We are satisfied that the court clearly affirms that Grindr’s sharing of sensitive information with third parties is illegal. ❗ This sends a strong signal to all companies that engage in commercial surveillance. There are no blank cheques to collect and share personal data. We expect that the digital advertising industry, which profits from tracking and profiling consumers, makes comprehensive changes in order to protect consumers’ fundamental rights. https://lnkd.in/dDAS6Szy #privacy #GDPR #onlineadvertising #adtech
