Comment on Airlines Are Selling Your Data to ICE

The company is jointly owned by nine major airlines, most of which are US-based: Delta, Southwest, United, American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, JetBlue, Air Canada, Lufthansa, and Air France.
I hope EU starts some inveatigation, because doesn’t seem that this follows the GDPR for European travelers.

Assuming the data doesn’t include international departures or arrivals (only their domestic counterparts), would GDPR even apply?

I think it applies to eu citizens worldwide for online purposes. You only need to do business in eu with eu clients (seperate terms) for it to apply.

Yea, I guess because they are “selling” vs being compensated for? If the US govt dictates terms to that business under homeland security, GDPR probably wouldn’t matter, but I can only assume since it’s a sale, that’s not the case.

Seeing as Lufthansa is German company, they might have some massive fines incoming.

Maximum GDPR fine is 4% of your revenue. For Lufthansa, that would be ~$1.4 billion, Air France ~$650 million, which is roughly their entire net income for one year.
Not sure if anyone has been hit with the maximum ever though, as everyone just keeps track of the dollars and not percentage of revenue.

AFAIK no one has triggered the biggest fines (yet?). Can’t wait for it to happen.

I think the biggest one by value is Meta with €1.2b. Although their revenue is in the $150b+ range, so not maxed out by.
