CJEU (C-394/23):

GDPR and rail transport: a customer’s gender identity is not necessary data for the purchase of a transport ticket

An interesting case, as the French data protection authority, CNIL, which is usually quite robust, rejected the applicant's original complaint, finding that a train company requiring gender to buy tickets, so the company could personalise communications, was not an infringement of the GDPR.

Data minimisation ftw.

@neil I'm curious to see the exact wording in the ruling, when it comes out, and how it gets translated. The AG opinion's conclusions said sex / sexe / sesso. Is grammatical gender going to be clearly excluded? DB's infamous dropdown is also quite redundant.

@nemobis @neil I would expect French to be the original in EU law and all these other versions translations, but I don't know if it's not just displayed like this because I clicked via the Court's French language Mastodon account.
