noyb files GDPR right‑to‑access complaints against eight streaming services

noyb filed formal complaints with the Austrian Data Protection Authority on behalf of ten users, alleging violations of the GDPR right to access by eight major streaming platforms. The complaints claim that the services either failed to provide required information about data sources, recipients, purpose, storage location or retention period, or ignored the request entirely. No actual penalties have been imposed yet.

Why it matters: The action tests GDPR enforcement by challenging major platforms' compliance with users' right to access personal data.
