Polish Personal Data Protection Office (UODO) OpenAI

UODO opened a formal investigation into OpenAI after a complaint that ChatGPT generated false personal information about an individual and that OpenAI provided no mechanism for the data subject to correct or delete it. The complaint targets transparency, accuracy and data-subject rights under GDPR — issues that overlap with EU AI Act obligations on transparency to affected persons (Article 50) and provider risk-management duties for generative AI.

Key takeaway — how to prevent this

AI services need a lawful basis, transparency and (for minors) age verification before launch in regulated markets — several DPAs blocked AI products first and asked questions later.

Inclusion does not imply wrongdoing or liability. Status reflects the latest information we have — always check the official source for current status.
