Ireland: Council for Civil Liberties submits new evidence on RTB GDPR violation to DPC

The Irish Council for Civil Liberties ('ICCL') announced, on 21 September 2020, that it had submitted to the Data Protection Commission ('DPC') new evidence on the European real time bidding ('RTB') system violation of Article 5(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) ('GDPR'). In particular, the ICCL outlined that the new evidence had been submitted two years after that Dr Johnny Ryan, now Senior Fellow of the ICCL, submitted his own complaint on the same matter to the DPC. In addition, the ICCL highlighted that the scale of the breach has continued to grow in the two years since the DPC was first notified. In fact, the ICCL reported that the number of websites using Google LLC's RTB system had increased by 61% in the last year, as well as that the number of companies receiving data directly from Google through its RTB system had also grown significantly over the same period.
