Executive Summary
The Irish Data Protection Commission fined WhatsApp Ireland 225 million euros for GDPR violations, the largest DPC fine at the time and second-largest ever under EU data law. The fine addressed failures to provide transparent privacy information to both users and non-users. The amount was quadrupled from the original 30-50 million euro proposal after objections from eight EU regulators.
