I like the way they are punished:
no fine, but CNIL ordered the firm to delete all data it had
not already deleted (having judged collection illegal given
consent was not valid); and to stop processing data without
consent.
So this is a warning shot to them and the ad industry: If they change the way they do business, they were almost not hurt (There is probably the court costs to pay, plus their defence, plus opportunity costs).
For now, the maximum fines seem to be just that, at least in France: Maxima, only for those who really do not want to mend their ways
- remify 8y agoThere's no need for punishment but pedagogy. Since there is still a lot of moving part regarding RGPD, the CNIL is just laying the foundation for futur cases.
- hyperman1 8y agoExactly. And the fact that CNIL takes this approach, deserves some applause. They could take out bigger guns if they wanted.
