顯示電信業者別 判台○大違個資法
台○大公司利用手機可攜碼資料庫,開發名為M+Messenger的APP通訊軟體,使用者下載後,通訊錄會顯示每個人的電信公司,被判違反個資法。
據報導,M+Messenger的APP通訊軟體,台○大與關係企業酷○公司一起推廣,消費者下載後,手機通訊錄會自動顯示朋友們手機是哪家電信公司,目的希望用戶可以利用網內互打,控制通話費;但有民眾主張沒經過同意,就公開用戶的手機電信公司,違反個人資料保護法,向台○大和NCC投訴,未獲得正面回應後,決定提告。
法官認為,門號所屬的電信業者透過與其它資料比對,可間接識別特定個人,違反個資法。台北地方法院認定台○大違法利用資料庫內容,侵害人格權,應與酷○公司連帶賠償500元。
據管理資料庫的電信技術中心官網揭示,資料庫有約2800萬筆手機號碼資料,扣除公司門號,潛在求償群十分可觀,後續若有其他消費者跟進訴訟,可能成為個資法實施以來最大宗的賠償案。
