Unlawful Data Transfer to France: China Imposes A Fine on Dior for Unauthorized Customer Data Sharing
In a significant development, the public security authority in China has announced that Dior's Shanghai branch has illegally transferred customers' personal data to its headquarters in France. The data leak, which occurred in May, was not encrypted as required and involved sensitive customer information.
The announcement was made today, revealing that the data transfer took place without conducting mandatory security assessments before transferring data overseas. Moreover, Dior did not notify users about the data transfer, adding to the concerns of customer privacy.
The exact nature of the administrative penalty imposed on Dior's Shanghai branch has not been specified. The responsible party for the illegal transfer of data has not been specifically named, with the accusation directed at the Dior Shanghai branch itself by Chinese authorities without specifying an individual or department.
In response to a request for comment from Reuters, Dior did not immediately respond.
This data leak marks a serious breach of trust for Dior's customers in China, raising questions about the company's data security measures and transparency. As the investigation continues, it is crucial for businesses to prioritise data security and adhere to regulations to protect their customers' personal information.
