2 May 2025 TikTok Technology LimitedDPC: 530 million EUR against TikTok over data access from China IrelandInternational data transfers €530m

TikTok allowed employees in China to access European users' data remotely without assessing and demonstrating that standard contractual clauses and supplementary measures ensured an equivalent level of protection against access by Chinese authorities; it also informed users inadequately. Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) imposed 530 million EUR and ordered that the transfers be brought into compliance or suspended within six months.

What organisations can take from it

Even mere remote access from a third country is a transfer – without a documented transfer impact assessment, fines and a suspension order loom.
