noyb files GDPR complaints against TikTok, AliExpress and WeChat for denying data access

noyb has lodged complaints with the data protection authorities in Belgium, Greece and the Netherlands alleging that TikTok, AliExpress and WeChat violated Articles 12 and 15 of the GDPR by failing to provide full data access. The complaints request a decision declaring the violations, ordering compliance, and suggest fines up to 4% of global revenue. The action follows earlier complaints about unlawful data transfers to China.

Why it matters: The enforcement action seeks to enforce EU data‑subject rights and could result in substantial fines for the companies.
