Acxiom sues German DPA to block noyb’s access to GDPR complaint files

Acxiom filed an interim injunction request with the Wiesbaden Administrative Court to prevent the Hessian data protection authority from granting noyb access to the case file concerning its alleged illegal sale of personal data to CRIF. The complaint alleges that Acxiom and CRIF use marketing‑collected personal data for credit scoring without consent, violating GDPR purpose‑limitation rules. The case remains pending with the Hessian and Bavarian DPAs.

Why it matters: The lawsuit illustrates how data‑brokers may use legal tactics to hinder enforcement of GDPR rights.
