“noyb is now approved as a so-called “Qualified Entity” to bring collective redress actions in courts throughout the European Union. Such action under Directive (EU) 2020/1828 can either be an “injunction” or a “redress” measure. “Injunctions” generally prohibit a company from engaging in illegal practices, including any GDPR violations. “Redress” measures allow a European version of a “Class Action”, where thousands or millions of users could be represented by noyb and for example ask for non-material damages when their personal data was unlawfully processed. Contrary to US Class Actions, EU law requires that such actions are brought on a purely non-profit basis.”
