China Penalizes Dior’s Shanghai Unit for Data Privacy Violation

China has imposed administrative penalties on LVMH’s Dior brand in Shanghai for violating data privacy rules.

A probe found that the Shanghai unit of Dior did not use encryption to protect personal information it collected, China’s cybersecurity authorities said in a statement posted on its official WeChat account on Tuesday. The luxury brand also shared data with LVMH’s headquarters in France without obtaining users’ consent, it added.
