Piracy is a huge challenge for rightsholders, but Spanish authorities say La Liga went too far in its data collection
“If it’s happening, it’s right on your mobile” is the slogan given to the official mobile application of La Liga – the top-flight of Spanish soccer.
If the app detected a match was being watched, it also accessed location data to see whether the venue in question was showing the match legally.While the ethics of such an activity are open to interpretation, the AEPD considered the action to be a violation of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation . Introduced in May 2018, GDPR requires organizations to be transparent about what data is processed and to obtain the relevant consent.
It also claims that privacy is not invaded because the feature is only listening for a specific sound and discards the rest of the information. In any case, it planned to disable the future at the end of the season.
