Tinder Owner Match Group Fined SEK 122 Million Over EU Data Protection Breach

Since many American tech companies are registered in Ireland, the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) is responsible for monitoring several tech giants on behalf of the EU.

The DPC is demanding that Match Group, which owns Tinder, begin complying with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The issue concerns the app’s tool for downloading personal data, which, according to the DPC, has not provided all the information required under the GDPR.

Match Group plans to appeal the authority’s decision.
