Luxembourg: CNPD announces results of six investigations concerning data transparency
The National Commission for Data Protection ('CNPD') announced, on 21 March 2023, that it had adopted, on 13 December 2022, six decisions concerning transparency and relating to investigations on six unnamed companies offering web services to citizens. In particular, the CNPD held, in each of its six decisions, that the provisions of Article 12(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) ('GDPR') had not been complied with, given that the information was not communicated to data subjects in a concise, transparent, understandable, and easily accessible manner, and in clear and simple terms. In addition, the CNPD noted that, in four of its decisions, it had ascertained violations of Article 13 of the GDPR, whereby the organisations in question had not provided users of their website with all the necessary information provided therein.
Lastly, the CNPD explained that it issued fines between €700 and €3,000 and imposed other corrective measures with regard to the breaches of the aforementioned articles of the GDPR.
