Facebook could face new privacy investigations after the social networking giant admitted that some of its European users had their audio chats collected and transcribed without their knowledge.<\/p>\n

The revelation comes after Facebook had initially claimed<\/a> that no one from the 28-country bloc had their audio messages collected and transcribed by hundreds of third-party contractors in a potential violation of the regions tough privacy standards.<\/p>\n

Yet after reviewing the activity, which took place at the end of July and early August, the company has now told EU privacy regulators that roughly 50 Europeans in 14 countries were caught up in the activity, as they had sent audio messages on its online platforms to U.S. users who were involved in the transcription trial.<\/p>\n

Typically, the Irish privacy regulator is responsible for Facebooks activities across the EU because the company has its international headquarters in Dublin. But because the latest privacy issues took place in the United States, and not Europe, regulators in each EU country are permitted to start their own probes because the activity falls outside the remit of Irelands Data Protection Commission.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll EU supervisory authorities in whose jurisdiction data protection violations against persons who have used Facebook Messenger have occurred are responsible for investigating the respective violations,\u201d Johannes Caspar, the Hamburg commissioner for data protection, told POLITICO in an email. His agency has opened an investigation into Facebooks collection of peoples data linked to the audio clips.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn agreement has also been reached between the HmbBfDI and the IDPC in Ireland that the case must be taken over by the respective national data protection authorities,\u201d he added, in reference to the Hamburg and Irish privacy regulators.<\/p>\n

Facebook said its transcription trial was not available in Europe, but confirmed that 48 of its EU users had snippets of their audio chats transcribed and reviewed by a third-party company.<\/p>\n
