Ireland Data Protection Commission
The Ireland Data Protection Commission (DPC) is the regulatory authority responsible for upholding data protection rights and ensuring compliance with data protection laws in Ireland, which is home to many global tech companies. The DPC plays a crucial role in enforcing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and has been involved in significant investigations into large tech firms regarding their data handling practices. Recently, the DPC announced that TikTok was fined 530 million euros for illegally sending personal data of European users to China and for lacking transparency in its privacy policies.
