The French data privacy regulator has started an investigation into Clubhouse's use of data under GDPR, the European data privacy and security law.
The Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés said in a statement it received a complaint before opening the investigation. CNIL said it had put questions to Alpha Exploration Co. Inc., the American owner of Clubhouse, on March 12.
"User privacy and security are a top priority at Clubhouse. We are actively working with organizations in the EU on GDPR compliance and have been grateful for their support and partnership," a Clubhouse spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
The spokesperson added: "As we look to expand our U.S.-based operations into new regions, we will always aim to meet and exceed the data protection laws of all territories in which we operate."
