What happened

The Finnish DPA ruled that a cleaning company breached the GDPR by using WhatsApp instant messaging services with its employees as a mean to share information about its customers, including their names, address, door code or key box code. Among other things, the controller had no means to oversee the use of personal data via WhatsApp, or otherwise impose restrictions on possible further use.
