noyb files GDPR complaint against A1 Telekom Austria over denial of location and traffic data access

noyb.eu lodged a GDPR complaint against A1 Telekom Austria for refusing to provide customers with their traffic and location data.

The filing highlights the need for transparency and compliance with EU data protection law.

Why it matters: The complaint tests enforcement of GDPR's data‑access rights against a telecom provider's restrictive practices.
