What happened
The Icelandic DPA (Persónuvernd) considered that it was not competent to rule in a binding manner as to whether processing of personal data by a media entity for journalistic purposes breached the Icelandic Act 90/2018 or the GDPR. Instead, it considered that a court should balance the right to freedom of expression and the right to privacy.
