H&M Has Been Fined $41 Million for Violating Its Workers' Privacy
H&M has been fined $41 million for monitoring several hundred employees. This is the second-largest fine levied against a single company over data breaches since the EU has introduced new General Data Protection Regulation laws in 2018. Since at least 2014 the Swedish Retailer recorded details about their employees. The details included extensive information about when employees had time off of work, vacation details, and medical symptoms and diagnoses.
