Executive Summary
Ireland's Data Protection Commission fined LinkedIn 310 million euros for GDPR violations related to targeted advertising. The DPC found that LinkedIn processed user data for behavioral analysis and ad targeting without valid legal basis, and that user consent was not freely given, sufficiently informed, or unambiguous as required by the GDPR. The case originated from a 2018 complaint by French nonprofit La Quadrature Du Net.
