Amazing result for Hello Fresh. What a bargain. The article is a pro business advert.
The ICO is a joke and only exists so the Government can pretend there is regulation and oversight
- aa_is_op 3y agoWeird take since the ICO has been about the only major privacy watchdog outside the EU to fine these companies. The EU is literally the last bastion of consumer protection rights.
- idonotknowwhy 3y agoACCC (Australia) issues fines too. I think we've fined Kogan a few times.
- brandall10 3y agoI think parent is saying the exceptionally low fine sets a bad precedent for this being a slap on the wrist offense - that it would be better if no action were taken to at least give an aura of potential accountability for other bad actors.
- switch007 3y agoDid you reply to the right comment? Who mentioned the EU? What do consumer protection rights have to do with the article or my comment? Consumer protection rights are about good and services, not data privacy.
- WhackyIdeas 3y agoI don’t think so, not for me at least… because any time I hear their name I’m going to remember what the ICO says, especially when we ourselves take time to ensure our own checkout is fair. £140,000 is a slap on the wrist so I am sure they will learn a valuable lesson to respect customers a bit more.
