TikTok fined 530m euros for GDPR violations: Implications for fashion brands

The penalty follows an inquiry into the platform's transfers of European Economic Area (EEA) user data to China, a decision that carries significant implications for fashion brands heavily reliant on the platform for audience engagement and marketing.
