Norway’s data privacy watchdog on Tuesday issued gay dating app Grindr with a notice of intention to fine it NOK 100 million (U.S. $11.7 million) for sharing personal data with third parties without users’ consent.
If the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (DPA) sticks to this figure in its final decision, the penalty will amount to around 10 percent of the company’s estimated global turnover and would mark Norway’s highest fine under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
