Avast Software s.r.o.

Περιγραφή

The Czech DPA has fined Avast Software s.r.o. EUR 13.9 million. The company had disclosed the personal data of around 100 million users of its antivirus software to the US company Jumpshot. Avast had transferred this data, including the users' pseudonymized Internet browsing history in connection with a unique ID, to Jumpshot, but falsely declared it to be anonymized. Users were incorrectly informed about the transfer of anonymized data, although partial identification of the data subjects was possible.
