You’re a (joint) controller if you use third-party tools on your website that share personal data with the provider – but only for parts where you (jointly) determine purposes and means. If you collect the data, you must inform and get consent, and each controller must pursue a legitimate interest.

AG Emiliou: FIFA’s new Football Agent Regulations don’t automatically violate Article 6 GDPR, but must meet certain conditions – there must be a legitimate interest, the data must be strictly necessary, and the rules must not place an unreasonable burden on people’s privacy or finances.

GDPR still applies when acting on behalf of a legal person. Plus, major implications for 🇨🇿 Czech – and potentially other – public bodies handling FOI requests: you may need to consult data subjects before disclosure, and even if that's impossible, you must still balance FOI with data protection.

AG Szpunar: If someone creates an online account that includes access to your email newsletters, sending them qualifies as 'direct marketing’ under the ePrivacy Directive Article 13 and is covered by the exception in point 2. Under Article 95 GDPR, a lawful basis under Article 6 isn’t needed.

Luxembourg Court upholds major €746m fine to Amazon

Just added the ruling. Fine and daily penalty upheld for Articles 6, 12-17, and 21 violations related to interest-based ads, but since an appeal is inevitable, this isn’t final yet. In the meantime, Amazon doesn’t have to pay or take any action.

UPDATED 27 Jan. A must-read if the subject matter is relevant. Yes, legitimate interest can apply in the context of AI models—but your documentation needs to be thorough. And don’t forget to involve your DPO.

Key takaways: Lack of lawful basis = loss of control = 'significant damage', lawful bases are notoriously tricky to get right, and most have lots to gain in improving information and transparency. Full decision = a key lesson on legitimate interest and LIAs.

Processing customers' titles to personalise communication based on gender isn’t essential for performing a contract; nor is it for a legitimate interest if they weren't informed beforehand, the processing isn't strictly necessary, or the balancing test goes in their favor.
