The Swedish DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 698,000 on Apohem AB. The controller had used so-called meta pixels on its website which, due to incorrect settings, caused personal data of customers who had consented to marketing cookies to be transmitted to Meta. The controller had used the tool to improve its marketing on Facebook and Instagram, without intending to transmit the data. During its investigation, the DPA found that the controller had failed to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data in order to avoid such an incident. The decision has been appealed and the process is ongoing.
