BRUSSELS, Jan 22 (Reuters) - An EU privacy watchdog is investigating the European Parliament s COVID-19 testing website for its staff after a privacy activist filed a complaint on concerns that the site could be transferring data illegally to the United States.
The Austrian privacy advocacy group Noyb, led by Max Schrems, took its case to the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) on behalf of six European Union lawmakers.
Schrems, an Austrian and prominent figure in Europe s digital rights movement against intrusive data-gathering by Silicon Valley tech giants, pursued two cases against Facebook , winning landmark judgments that forced the social network to change how it handles user data in Europe.
