Greek DPA fines Clearview AI €20 million and bans biometric processing

The Greek Data Protection Authority imposed a €20 million fine on Clearview AI and prohibited the company from processing biometric data of individuals in Greece. Clearview must delete all existing facial‑recognition data of Greek citizens and appoint an EU representative. The decision follows similar actions by French and Italian DPAs.

Why it matters: The fine underscores strict GDPR enforcement against unlawful biometric surveillance by foreign firms.
