I'm not an expert on GDPR but if PII is being collected and distributed/sold without explicit consent that sounds like it should be a legal liability. What is the per-violation fine for things like this under the GDPR?

- Liquid_Fire 7y agoCorrection: the _maximum_ fine is 4% of annual income or €20 million, whichever is greater. There is also no guarantee of any fine, see vertex-four's comment. For something like this I expect they will simply be warned to fix their WiFi and won't actually be fined unless they continue being in violation.
- vertex-four 7y agoThere isn't really a per-violation fine - their country's information regulator should investigate and fine them for their illegal practices in general. The regulator has fairly wide remit to pick an amount of their choosing for the fine, or to simply tell them to fix their practices and not fine them.
