"Greek supermarket chain Alfa Vita (AB) runs a loyalty card program, allowing the collection of personal data of shoppers. Still, the company can’t even comply with baseline GDPR rights. When the complainant requested access to her data, AB left out most of the personal data it processed. noyb now filed a complaint with the Greek DPA." #Privacy #GDPR #dataprotection #Noyb Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO.

"Recently, Twitter International (now re-branded as 'X') began unlawfully using the personal data of more than 60 million users in the EU/EEA to train its AI technologies (like 'Grok') without their consent. Unlike Meta (which recently also had to stop AI training in the EU), Twitter did not even inform its users in advance. This went too far even for the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC): Last week, it launched court proceedings against Twitter to stop the illegal processing, but the Irish DPC seems to have stopped short of fully enforcing the GDPR. noyb now follows up with nine complaints. […] noyb applies for full investigation. Already during the first hearing, the Irish DPC has settled with Twitter (via a so-called 'undertaking') to just pause further training of the algorithm with EU data until September. No determination on the legality was made and many questions remain unanswered. For example: What happened with EU data that was already ingested in the systems and how can Twitter (properly) separate EU and non-EU data? For this reason, noyb has filed GDPR complaints with the data protection authorities in nine countries, to ensure that the core legal problems around Twitter’s AI training are fully addressed. The more other EU DPAs get involved in the proceedings, the higher the pressure on the Irish DPC to follow through with its case and on Twitter to actually comply with EU law." #Privacy #GDPR #dataprotection #X #Noyb Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO.

"The European Commission does not plan to reopen the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), instead focusing on enforcement, as privacy in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly controversial. The GDPR establishes standards for how to handle personal data in the EU. A Commission spokesperson told Euractiv that the EU executive does not intend to reopen the data protection regulation before the next report, scheduled for 2028.The latest report on the application of the GDPR, published in late July, pointed to enforcement issues." #Privacy #GDPR #dataprotection #EuropeanCommission Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO.

"The Dutch privacy watchdog Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens has issued a warning about the use of AI-driven chatbots by companies, following several leaks of private information, including medical details. Workers who use digital assistants such as ChatGPT to answer questions from customers or summarise large files, may save time, but they also pose a risk to data protection, the AP said. In one case, a family doctor’s assistant fed private information about patients into a ChatGPT-based programme, which was then stored on the tech company’s servers and potentially used to train the software, the AP said." #Privacy #GDPR #dataprotection #AI #ChatGPT Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO.

"Consumer organisations allege X’s artificial intelligence (AI) tool is in violation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in a complaint filed with the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) on Monday (5 August). This is the third Big Tech platform to face a privacy complaint over its use of user data to train AI models, after Meta and LinkedIn. The formal complaint, which was filed on behalf of lawyer Marco Scialdone, for Euroconsumers, and Altroconsumo, alleges X has committed multiple violations of the EU’s landmark data protection regulation." #Privacy #GDPR #dataprotection #X #AI Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO.

"The education minister in Northern Ireland has 'unreservedly' apologised after the personal details of more than 400 people who had offered to contribute to a review of special education needs were breached. The embarrassing data breach came to light on Thursday after the education department said it had mistakenly sent to 174 people a spreadsheet attachment that contained the names, email address and titles of 407 individuals who had expressed an interest in attending the end-to-end review of special education needs (SEN) events across Northern Ireland." #Privacy #GDPR #dataprotection #DataBreach #Ireland Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO.

“Following a complaint by noyb, the Hamburg data protection authority declared the use of controversial ‘Pay or OK’ systems to be permissible. However, the procedure raises considerable questions: Although the authority was in active dialogue with news magazine DER SPIEGEL, it did not hear the person concerned once during the proceedings. Many relevant facts were never investigated. In a parallel case, the authority is even said to have actively motivated a company to demand money for saying ‘no’ to the cookie banner. The person concerned has therefore filed a lawsuit against the data protection authority with the Hamburg Administrative Court.” #Privacy #GDPR #dataprotection #PayorOK Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO.

"The EU’s Al Act (Regulation 2024/1689) enters into force today, August 1, 2024. The groundbreaking Act is designed to ensure that AI systems are safe, transparent, and governed by rules that protect fundamental rights. The Act categorizes AI applications into risk-based tiers, with each tier subject to different levels of regulatory scrutiny and compliance requirements. The Act will become fully applicable in two years. However, some requirements of the Act, mainly related to prohibited Al practices, will become applicable as of February 2, 2025." #Privacy #GDPR #dataprotection #AIAct #AI Subscribe to EDPO's newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/dwK8sde *This article was not written by EDPO.
