Temu Fined 1.38 Billion Won for Illegal Data Transfers

Temu

A regulatory breakdown led to the unauthorized transfer of Korean user data to overseas servers.

The Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) fined Temu 1.38 billion won for multiple violations of the PIPA. The platform failed to inform users about the storage and processing of their data in overseas servers and made it intentionally difficult for members to withdraw or delete their accounts. This was categorized as a systematic breakdown of privacy compliance.
