2 Jul 2024 Vinted, UABVinted pays 2.39 million EUR over ‘shadow banning’ and handling of erasure requests LithuaniaData subject rights and transparency €2.39m

Acting on complaints from France and Poland, the Valstybinė duomenų apsaugos inspekcija (Lithuanian State Data Protection Inspectorate, VDAI) found that the second-hand platform rejected erasure requests when users did not state a ‘specific reason’ under Art. 17 GDPR, throttled users without their knowledge through ‘shadow banning’ and could not demonstrate how it handled access requests. Fine of 2,385,276 EUR. Source: archived copy of the press release.

What organisations can take from it

Covert restrictions on users are non-transparent – and erasure requests must not fail on formalities such as a requirement to give reasons.
