Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Ms Jennifer O'Sullivan:

Yes. For example, if, during that intervening period, another data protection authority had received an equivalent complaint which related to the set-up process that an Android phone uses, the downstream effect on advertising and so on, it would not have been precluded from investigating it. Any data protection authority could, depending on its own national legislation, have examined the issue in its own right.
