noyb files appeal against Swedish Tax Authority for selling personal data

noyb has filed an appeal with the Stockholm Administrative Court seeking to stop the Swedish Tax Authority from selling personal data to data brokers. The appeal follows a Swedish Supreme Court ruling that data likely to be processed in breach of the GDPR must be marked confidential. The tax authority had previously rejected a data subject’s request to halt the sales.

Why it matters: The case could enforce GDPR rights against a government agency that is commercially distributing citizens' personal data.
