If the Italian Data Protection Authority (APA) approves ChatGPT, the company can resume its operations in Italy
Key Highlights :
Italy allows permission for ChatGPT to return if it meets certain list of demands set out by data protection agency.
ChatGPT, a mobile messaging app, has been granted permission to return to the Italian market after meeting a set of demands set out by the data protection agency, Agcom. The app will need to agree to store user data only for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to allow users to unsubscribe from messages, and to make it easy for users to change their privacy settings. Agcom also requested that ChatGPT make it easy for users to block unwanted messages and to report any data breaches.
ChatGPT has been banned from the Italian market in the past after it was found to have violated data protection laws. The company has since made changes to its policies in an attempt to comply with Italian data protection laws.
This is a significant victory for data protection in Italy, and shows that companies that comply with data protection laws can still operate in the Italian market. It is hoped that this will encourage other companies to follow ChatGPT's example and make changes to their policies in order to comply with data protection laws.
