jö Bonus Club
The Austrian data protection authority imposed a fine of 8 million euros on the grocer Rewe. The reason given for the penalty is violations of the GDPR in the customer loyalty program “jö Bonus Club,” which the authority identified.
As a result, Rewe announced its intention to take legal action against the decision. Furthermore, it is emphasized that the customer loyalty program is managed by an economically and legally independent subsidiary, “Unser Ö-Bonus Club GmbH”. As a result, no responsibility should fall on Rewe, he said.
The penalty notice is not yet legally binding.
