DE PARTICULIER A PARTICULIER (PAP)

CNIL (France) case SAN-2024-002, decided 2024-01-31. EUR 100,000.

What the regulator decided

PAP retained user account data and inactive-user data beyond the period necessary for the purposes for which they were processed, breaching Article 5(1)(e) GDPR; failed to provide complete information to data subjects in breach of Article 13; did not frame its relationship with a processor with the contractual safeguards required by Article 28; and stored credentials without an appropriately strong hashing function and in plain text in some logs, breaching Article 32.

ConsentMark interpretation

Operator-readable note on how this case shapes the ConsentMark scanner narrative. Not a legal opinion; cites the primary source.

Real-estate-classifieds publisher (pap.fr). Cite when the scanner narrative needs the precedent that inactive-user retention beyond a documented period is itself an Article 5(1)(e) breach, and that weak credential storage triggers Article 32 even when no external compromise occurred.
