noyb.eu lodged a complaint with the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL) alleging that Google’s Gmail sends unsolicited advertising emails without user consent, contrary to the ePrivacy Directive and a CJEU ruling. The complaint cites that the emails appear in users' inboxes and are not filtered as spam, constituting direct marketing without valid consent.
Why it matters: The complaint challenges Google’s alleged breach of EU privacy law on direct‑marketing emails, potentially leading to enforcement action by CNIL.
