sadly, the regulators are yet to show that the GDPR has any teeth. Most recently, the ICO gave British Airways and Marriott significant reductions on fines they raised last year.
- lol768 6y ago£20M and £18.4M are still reasonably sizeable amounts - and given the pandemic has likely impacted BA & Marriott's profits substantially already, I think some sort of adjustment was likely the fair thing to do. H&M have been fined £32M. This wasn't hugely far off the 4% annual turnover cap. Compared to the previous Data Protection Act limits, these fines are definitely significant.
