Belgium Tells Facebook to Stop Storing Personal Data From Non-Users
November 9th, 2015
Via: Bloomberg:
Facebook Inc. lost a fight with Belgium’s privacy watchdog after a court ordered it to stop storing personal data from people who don’t have an account with the social network.
Facebook faces a fine of 250,000 euros ($269,000) a day if it doesn’t comply with the ruling, the court said in an e-mailed statement Monday.
Belgium’s privacy watchdog had sued Menlo Park, California-based Facebook for failing to respond to its demands to bring its privacy policy in line with local laws. Facebook’s “disrespectful� treatment of users’ personal data, without their knowledge, “needs tackling,� Willem Debeuckelaere, president of the Belgian commission, said in May.
“If a surfer doesn’t have an own Facebook account, Facebook from now on will have to explicitly solicit consent and provide the needed explanations,� the Brussels court of first instance said.
