ECHR upholds prohibition on wholesale processing of Finnish individuals' tax details
by Practical Law Media & Telecoms
The European Court of Human Rights has upheld a decision of the Finnish data protection authority prohibiting two companies from collecting, saving and processing the publicly available taxation details of over a million Finnish people with a view to publication, including providing details on request via a SMS service. (Satakunnan Markkinapörssi Oy and Satamedia Oy v. Finland, Application no. 931/13, 21 July 2015.)
NOTE: On 27 June 2017 the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights upheld the decision (see Legal update, ECHR Grand Chamber upholds ban on mass publication of Finnish personal tax data). (See details of PLC IPIT & Communications' policy on annotating case reports.)
