> The documents were hosted by systems used by cannabis clubs and a company called Nefos, which operates PuffPal, a platform that manages membership and age verification for cannabis retailers and clubs across Europe.

I cannot imagine the level of fines under GDPR for leaking that much PII

The EU's verification laws will ensure much more of these leaks in the future, and therefore much more fines

Is it requirement to retain the documents? Many are waiting for gatekeeper tech companies to organise around attestation rather than submission to third parties. I hope they are making progress.

Yep… not sure about more fines, but for sure more leaks
