Norway Fines Xandr $9.6 Million Over Grindr Data

Original: (malwarebytes.com) Norwegian Regulator Fines Xandr $9.6 Million for Unlawful Processing of Grindr Users' Sensitive Data

Norway's data protection authority has fined ad-tech firm Xandr 92 million Norwegian kroner, about $9.6 million, for unlawfully processing and sharing sensitive data belonging to users of the dating app Grindr. The case stems from concerns that personal information, including sexual orientation data, was used for advertising without a valid legal basis, renewing scrutiny of the online ad industry's privacy practices.

Why now: Regulatory action against major ad-tech firms over sensitive personal data is drawing attention amid growing privacy enforcement in Europe.
