Beschrijving

The DPA of Hamburg has imposed a mid-four-figure fine on a private individual for improper use of the personal data of an opponent in a video game. The case occurred on the live streaming platform Twitch, where the streamer obtained the real name of their opponent during a game. With this knowledge, the streamer used their professional access to a customer database to find out the opponent's address. They then announced that they would personally seek out their opponent.
