Italy fines Clearview AI €20 million

In addition to the €20 million fine, Italy’s Data Protection Authority, the Garante, has also ordered the company to delete data relating to people who are in Italy, and prohibited further collection and processing through its facial recognition system.

The Garante says that Clearview AI has breached GDPR’s principles – collecting data without adequate legal basis, and not properly informing ­individuals of data collection.
