The Market Court rules in the IAB Europe case
Today, the Market Court (Court of Appeal) has ruled in the case between the Belgian Data Protection Authority and IAB Europe, exercising its full jurisdiction. Although decision 21/2022 is annulled for procedural reasons, the Market Court endorses the reasoning of the Belgian DPA and confirms the fine of 250,000 euros imposed. However, the Court rejects the BE DPA's conclusion that IAB Europe acts as (joint) data controller for the processing operations that take place entirely within the OpenRTB protocol.
