THE DATA PROTECTION Commission (DPC) received a variety of pandemic-related queries last year, some associated with Covid-19 test results seen first by employers at workplaces.
The DPC published its 2020 annual report today. 10,151 cases were handled by the commission last year, a 9% increase on 2019 figures.
The report set out a number of case studies from the year, one of which involved Facebook’s plan to expand its suicide and self-harm tools further which was halted by the DPC.
