Tinder parent company fined millions over data requests

Tinder's parent company has been fined by the Data Protection Commission for failing to provide users with complete access to their personal data through its download tool. The regulator determined the company's data practices violated privacy laws and has given the firm three months to ensure full compliance.

The Data Protection Commission has issued a multi-million euro fine against the parent company of the popular dating application Tinder. The regulatory investigation revealed that a tool designed for users to download their personal data failed to provide all the required information. Specifically, the commission found that certain types of personal data were missing from these reports without the users being informed, while other information was only provided in summarized form.

Because these practices failed to comply with European privacy legislation, the regulator has imposed financial sanctions on the company. In addition to the fine, the DPC has ordered the company to update its systems to meet legal privacy requirements within a period of three months. This decision aims to ensure that users can fully access the personal data collected by the application in accordance with their established rights.
