同性约会APP被罚巨款?
+++
Norwegian regulators announced intentions to hit the popular gay dating app Grindr with a fine of nearly $12 million over alleged data-sharing practices.
挪威监管机构近日宣布,将对广受欢迎的同性恋约会应用Grindr处以近1200万美元的罚款,原因是该应用据称存在敏感数据共享行为。
The Norwegian Data Protection Authority said in a statement Tuesday that it's notified Grindr of its intent to fine the company 100 million Norwegian krone (approximately $11.7 million).
周二,挪威数据保护局在一份声明中表示,已通知Grindr,打算对该公司罚款1亿挪威克朗(约合1170万美元)。
The agency said Grindr has the opportunity to comment until Feb. 15, and then it will make its final decision.
该机构表示,Grindr在2月15日之前有机会发表评论,然后会做出最终决定。
The regulators accuse Grindr of illegally sharing users' personal data from the free version of the app with third parties for marketing purposes.
监管机构指控Grindr出于营销目的,将免费版用户的个人数据非法分享给第三方。
The data allegedly shared includes location, profile data "and the fact that the user in question is on Grindr," according to the statement.
据声明称,这些被分享的数据包括位置、个人资料数据,“以及该用户是否在Grindr上”。
"Our preliminary conclusion is that Grindr needs consent to share these personal data and that Grindr's consents were not valid," the statement added.
“我们的初步结论是,Grindr分享这些个人数据需要得到同意,而Grindr的同意申请是无效的,”声明补充道。
"Additionally, we believe that the fact that someone is a Grindr user speaks to their sexual orientation, and therefore this constitutes special category data that merit particular protection."
“此外,我们认为,一个人是Grindr用户,说明了他的性取向,因此这是一个特殊类别的数据,需要特别保护。”
Bjørn Erik Thon, director-general of the Norwegian Data Protection Authority, said Grindr users weren't able to exercise real control over the sharing of their data and were pressured into giving consent to the app's privacy policy when using it without being properly informed.
挪威数据保护局局长埃里克·习昂表示,Grindr用户无法真正控制自己数据的共享,在未得到适当通知的情况下使用该应用时,他们被迫同意该应用的隐私政策。
Thon noted that Grindr is seen as a safe space, and many users may wish to be discrete, but that their data may have been shared with an unknown number of third parties.
习昂指出,Grindr被视为一个安全的空间,许多用户可能希望是离散的,但他们的数据可能已经与未知数量的第三方共享。
If the fine is finalized, this could be the highest Norwegian Data Protection Authority fine to date.
如果这笔罚款最终敲定,这将是挪威数据保护管理局迄今为止开出的最高罚单。
