Privacy International files a complaint against Doctissimo before French Data Protection regulator

PI filed a complaint against health website Doctissimo with the French data protection authority (CNIL) after our research found that Doctissimo engaged in programmatic advertising, and shared the results of online depression tests taken on its platform with third parties.

The complaint argues, among others, that Doctissimo had no lawful basis for the processing of personal data as the requirements for valid consent are not met, and that it does not comply with the Data Protection Principles enshrined in the GDPR.
