The Norwegian Privacy Appeals Board confirmed the Norwegian Data Protection Authority's fine of NOK 65 million against the dating app Grindr for sharing sensitive personal data with third parties. The fine, approximately €5.8 million, stems from a 2020 complaint by the Norwegian Consumer Council alleging illegal surveillance‑based advertising. The decision reinforces enforcement of GDPR obligations on data sharing and profiling.
Why it matters: The ruling signals stricter enforcement against unauthorized sharing of sensitive user data for advertising purposes.
