Yoti is extremely disappointed to confirm that we have recently been sanctioned by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) for infringements of data protection law relating to the Yoti Digital ID app. Yoti rejects in the strongest possible terms the decision of the AEPD and has begun the appeal process to the Spanish High Court.
Importantly, we can reassure our Digital ID app users and clients that no personal data of any app user has been breached or compromised in any way – the Yoti Digital ID app remains secure. We also want to make clear that the findings relate to the Digital ID app only.
Yoti takes data protection very seriously and has the utmost respect for the critical work undertaken by data protection regulators globally, many of which we positively engage and collaborate with on a regular basis.
We fully cooperated with the AEPD’s information requests, but we were never notified that we were under investigation.
