🎯 By giving European users the choice to deny behavioral advertising, Meta is aligning with consent-based legal foundations for targeted advertising. 👇 Key highlights from the announcement include: ✅ Meta’s “intention” to switch to consent-based targeted advertising 📜 ✅ A vague timeline referencing “the months ahead” 📅 ✅ Possible implications for Meta's business model, including the ability to still run "personalized" ad campaigns 📊 ✅ Long-awaited enforcement of privacy rights in the EU, marking a potential end to forced commercial mass surveillance 💼 It took over five years for privacy campaigners and EU courts to reach this stage. While the journey has been challenging, this decision suggests that the era of untouchable platform giants and their perceived immunity to the law might be coming to an end.

⚖️ Right to bring collective action for violations of information obligations under GDPR. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) recently ruled that if a company fails to provide clear and complete information about how it uses personal data (as required by Articles 12 and 13 of the GDPR), it can be taken to court by consumer advocacy groups. The specific case involved Meta (Facebook's parent company), which allowed third-party games on its platform to collect and share user data. The Federation of German Consumer Organisations (vzbv) argued that Meta hadn't properly informed users or obtained valid consent. The German courts referred the matter to the ECJ, which confirmed that such failures can be challenged through class actions. 💡 This decision means that companies must ensure that their privacy notices are clear, simple and easy to understand, or risk legal action from consumer groups.

💶 Uber has been fined €290 million in the Netherlands for transferring drivers' personal data - such as taxi licences, location data and even medical records - to the United States. Uber made these transfers without " appropriately safeguarding the data", according to the Dutch DPA. Uber claims it complied with the GDPR during three years of "immense uncertainty" between the US and the EU over how the rules would be applied. The problem, according to Uber, dates back to 2020, when the EU Court of Justice ruled that the current EU-US data transfer framework was no longer compliant with the GDPR.

2,000 GDPR fine for recruitment 📨 email sent to wrong recipient ❗ 💶 The Romanian National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP) imposed a €2,000 fine on a company after an employee mistakenly sent an email to the wrong recipient during a recruitment process. The email, intended for a job applicant, was accidentally sent to another individual, leading to an unauthorised disclosure of personal data, including the applicant's name, surname, and the store location where they applied. The ANSPDCP found that the company failed to implement adequate technical and organisational measures to prevent such data breaches, as required by GDPR. These measures are crucial to ensure a level of security that protects against accidental or illegal data processing, such as unauthorised disclosure or access.
