Leak of memo about sports star’s ‘sex assault’ leaves RTE open to data fine

Posted on January 27, 2019 by pogowasright.org

Sean Pollock reports:

A newsroom memo that named a sports star in relation to allegations of sexual assault and was leaked and posted on social media has led RTE to notify the Data Protection Commission (DPC) of a data breach.

The DPC confirmed the notification from RTE and said it fell within the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), leaving the national broadcaster open to a fine.
