For the first time in history, the EU court has fined the EU itself for failing to comply with its own data protection rules.
The EU's highest court has ruled that the European Commission breached the GDPR by transferring a German citizen's data to the US without adequate security safeguards. For this, the body must pay the victim €400 in compensation.
The breach occurred when the citizen registered for a conference organised by the EU Commission using the "Login with Facebook" option. As a result, his IP address and other technical data were transferred to Meta and Amazon.
The court found that the transfer of data constituted a "sufficiently serious" breach of the rules, which apply to all citizens of the 27 EU countries.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), one of the strictest data protection regulations in the world, provides for fines of up to 4% of annual turnover for violations.
This decision could set an important precedent for future data protection cases.
