July 30, 2021 The Luxembourg Data Protection Authority (CNPD) has sentenced Amazon with a record fine of 746 million euros for processing personal data in violation of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The decision, dating back to July 16, concludes the investigation that began with a 2018 complaint by the French association for privacy rights 'La Quadrature du Net', which collected 100,000 signatures in its support.
Amazon announces appeal
"We strongly disagree with the ruling of the Luxembourg Privacy Authority Cnpd and we intend to appeal." Amazon underlines this in a statement in response to the maxi fine. '' Maintaining the security of information relating to our customers and their trust are top priorities for us. There has been no breach of personal data, nor any exposure to third parties of data relating to our customers. These circumstances are indisputable ", underlines the Seattle company." The decision on how we show customers relevant advertising is based on subjective and unprecedented interpretations of the European privacy legislation and the proposed sanction - concludes the giant of 'e-commerce - is completely disproportionate even with respect to this interpretation ".
