European Data Regulators Issued EUR2.92 Billion (USD3.10 Billion / GBP2.54 Billion) In GDPR Fines Last Year - A 168% Increase On The Previous Year – According To Global Law Firm DLA Piper - Global Law Firm DLA Piper Publishes The 2023 Edition Of Its Annual GDPR And Data Breach Survey Revealing Total Fines Issued For A Wide Range Of GDPR Infringements And The League Table Of Fines Issued By Country Since January 28th 2022. The Survey Covers All 27 Member States Of The European Union, Plus The UK, Norway, Iceland And Liechtenstein

Date 18/01/2023

• European data protection supervisory authorities have issued EUR2.92 billion (USD3.10 billion / GBP2.54 billion)* since 28 January 2022, a 168% increase against the previous year
• Significant penalties levied against Meta IE by the Irish Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) place a spotlight on the “grand bargain” between consumers and online service providers: “free” services in exchange for consumers’ personal data which can then be used to create lucrative advertising profiles. The fines attack the cornerstone of this “grand bargain”
• This year’s highest fine of EUR 405 million (USD429 million / GBP352 million) was imposed by the Irish Data Protection Commissioner against Meta Platforms Ireland Limited relating to Instagram for various alleged failures to protect children’s personal data.
• The average number of notified data breaches per day fell slightly from 328 notifications per day to 300 notifications per day** suggesting that organisations might be becoming warier of notifying breaches for fear of investigations, fines and compensation claims. The Netherlands remains at the top of the table for the number of breach notifications made per 100,000 capita
• Luxembourg remains at the top of the country league table for the highest GDPR fine imposed since 25 May 2018: a fine of EUR 746 million (USD790 million / GBP649 million). But Ireland is catching up, taking the 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th and 6^th places in the country fines league table after a very busy year for the DPC
• With so many technology firms based in Ireland or Luxembourg and the continued focus of European data regulators on this sector, DLA Piper foresees Ireland and Luxembourg likely remaining at the top of the league table for years to come
