“I was able to buy data about each of my neighbours, how much money they have, and whether they are single or not. This information is specially protected under EU law,” ICCL Tech and Human Rights Officer Olga Cronin said.“But GeoDirectory markets this information to businesses to match names and addresses on their existing customer lists to GeoDirectory’s profiles about their customers.”
“The law is clear. GeoDirectory, An Post, and OSI are infringing the GDPR. It’s time for the Data Protection Commission to step in,” she added.
