Description
Issued UK Court of Appeal ruling in Clearview AI’s appeal of ICO’s fine and enforcement notice
On 17 October 2023, the UK Court of Appeal issued a ruling concerning Clearview AI’s appeal of the fine issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). The Court concluded that the ICO was acting outside its jurisdiction when issuing the fine to Clearview AI and, therefore, allowed the appeal by Clearview AI. The Court specified that the processing by Clearview AI was related to the monitoring of data subjects in the UK but that the processing did not fall within the scope of the UK GDPR because it is not considered “relevant processing”. Consequently, the ICO did not have jurisdiction to issue the Enforcement Notice and the Monetary Penalty Notice.
