noyb win: French electronics retailer Fnac Darty fined €7M

French electronics retailer Fnac Darty has been fined €7 million by France's data protection authority (CNIL) for illegally using third-party trackers on its mobile app without user consent. The fine resulted from a complaint filed by privacy organization noyb in 2023, which found that the app collected browsing history and personal data for targeted advertising without obtaining proper consent from users. The CNIL confirmed that Fnac Darty violated GDPR requirements by failing to ask users for consent before processing their data for personalized advertising.
