Failure to comply with the principle of accountability and privacy by design and by default.
Consistent with the measures No. 20 of 22 January 2021 and No. 61 of 11 February 2021, the Italian DPA has imposed a provisional limitation on the processing of the personal data of users whose age is incompatible with: 1) the use of the services (thirteen years); 2) the Italian law for giving consent to the processing of personal data (fourteen years). Morevoeror, the limitation has been imposed also for those users whose age cannot be verified.<br />In fact, considering the inadequacy of the measures of the Society to exclude, by means of a barrier to the identification, the processing of personal data of these users, the Society has violated the duty of the data controller to implement the principles of accountability and the principle of privacy by design and by default (Articles 24 and 25 of the Regulation).
