Norway’s data privacy watchdog fined gay dating app Grindr $7.16 million for sending sensitive personal data to hundreds of potential advertising partners without users’ consent.
. The Norwegian Data Protection Authority said Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2021 that it imposed its highest fine to date because the California-based company didn’t comply with the European Union’s strict privacy rules.
Grindr said the agency's findings related to consent policies from years ago, not its current practices, and that it is considering its next steps, including an appeal. The data privacy watchdog said users “were forced to accept the privacy policy in its entirety to use the app” and were not asked specifically if they wanted to allow their data to be shared with third parties “for behavioral advertisement.”
