The EU General Court ruled that the European Commission violated a German citizen's data protection rights by transferring personal data to the U.S. without proper safeguards.
The court's decision came after the EU Commission transferred a German citizen's data during a conference registration, breaching GDPR by exposing his IP address and device information.
This ruling emphasizes the importance of GDPR, which is designed to protect citizens' personal data, highlighting that even top EU bodies are not exempt from compliance.
The fine of €400 is noted as the first instance where the European Commission has faced legal repercussions under GDPR, underscoring the regulation's serious enforcement.
