Norway fines dating app Grindr $7.16M over breaching privacy rules
Fox News
Norway’s data privacy watchdog on Wednesday fined gay dating app Grindr $7.16 million for sending sensitive personal data to hundreds of potential advertising partners without users' consent
Grindr said the agency's findings related to consent policies from years ago, not its current practices, and that it is considering its next steps, including an appeal.
The data watchdog "relies on a series of flawed findings, introduces many untested legal perspectives, and the proposed fine is therefore still entirely out of proportion with those flawed findings," said Grindr's chief privacy officer, Shane Wiley.
