Huge fine for Aldi in Hungary!
Change language:
Every person who bought alcohol was asked for their ID card in Aldi. Their date of birth was recorded and the data was stored for 180 days. This is a serious infringement and Aldi has now been fined for this practice.
The supermarket chain was the subject of a consumer protection investigation in 2022 for asking people to show their ID cards when buying alcohol in its stores. They did it even when it was clear that the customers were over 18, Index reports.
There have also been several privacy complaints against Aldi in connection with the case. Some of the complainants asked in vain for information on the legal basis on which the store wanted to record their date of birth, and did not receive it, hvg.hu writes.
I heard they are guilty of misgendering customers- prison is the only answer along with EU withholding funds.
The EU is also behind getting rid of farms in the Netherlands but that not news to DNH.
Hungary is very good at dishing out fines to businesses that pay lot of taxes in to the Treasury. But be careful! You maybe killing the golden goose!
