District Court of Stendal: Deezer has to pay compensation for data leaks

New developments in data protection at Deezer S.A.

a serious judgment for data protection

The Stendal district court decided in a significant judgment that Deezer S.A. for violation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is obliged to pay compensation. This decision not only represents an important step in the case law of data protection, but could also have far -reaching consequences for users and companies in dealing with personal data.

The background of the case

The court found that Deezer failed to take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data of its users. This contradicts Article 32 of the GDPR, which requires the need for such measures to protect against loss or unauthorized access. The inability of Deezer to demonstrate suitable safety precautions led to this legal consequence.

The effects on the users

The importance of this decision is particularly clear when you consider that personal data of users in the Darknet have been published. The court decided that Deezer is also liable for future damage resulting from this publication. Consumers who have a deezer account and possibly affect this data leak should be particularly vigilant.

a wave of judgments against Deezer

This decision not only revises the security practices of Deezer, but is also part of similar judgments of other regional courts, such as the LG Lüneburg. The ongoing legal problems indicate a broad spectrum of challenges that the company is confronted with when it comes to dealing with user data and its safety.
