30 Dec 2025 Einzelhandelskette mit Kundenprogramm (anonymisiert)CNIL: €3.5m fine for retail chain over sharing customer data with a social network €3.5m
The CNIL (French data protection authority) fined an unnamed retail chain EUR 3,500,000 (EUR 2,500,000 under Art. 6(1)(a), 13, 32 and 35 GDPR and EUR 1,000,000 under Art. 82 of the Loi Informatique et Libertés, the French Data Protection Act). Since 2018 the company had transferred e-mail addresses and telephone numbers of members of its loyalty programme to a social network without valid consent in order to show them targeted advertising there; more than 10.5 million people were affected. In addition, there was inadequate information, weak password rules with SHA-256 hashing, no data protection impact assessment, and cookies that were set before any choice and continued to be read after a refusal.
Anyone transferring customer data to platforms for audience targeting needs a separate, clearly worded consent and a prior data protection impact assessment.
