The DPC’s 2020 report reveals that 14 of its 27 cross-border investigations relate to Facebook, WhatsApp or Instagram.
Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC) received more than 6,600 valid breach notifications in 2020, up 10pc on the previous year, according to its latest report. Of the 6,628 breaches, 90pc were concluded in 2020.
The report also detailed a number of ongoing investigations. As of 31 December 2020, the DPC had 83 statutory inquires on hand, including 27 cross-border inquiries.
More than half of these cross-border inquiries relate to Facebook or Facebook-owned Instagram and WhatsApp.
This includes a draft decision that the DPC sent to European authorities in December in relation to WhatsApp’s compliance with its transparency obligations under GDPR. This outcome of this inquiry could lead to a ‘large’ fine for Facebook.
