15 Apr 2024 Avast Software s.r.o.Avast: 351 million CZK for passing browsing histories to Jumpshot CzechiaData subject rights and transparency €13.9m

In 2019, the antivirus manufacturer passed pseudonymised browsing histories of around 100 million users to its subsidiary Jumpshot, which sold insights into online behaviour to marketing clients. The data declared as anonymous allowed re-identification and users were misinformed; the Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů (Czech data protection authority, ÚOOÚ) imposed a final fine of 351 million CZK.

What organisations can take from it

Pseudonymised data are not anonymous data – anyone passing on usage data must assess re-identification risks and inform users honestly.
