Data mining, the automated collection of data from websites, involves significant privacy risks. European legislation requires personal data to be processed fairly, lawfully and transparently, with the explicit consent of the individuals concerned. Unauthorised data extraction can lead to breaches of the GDPR, resulting in heavy fines (up to 4% of your company&#8217;s annual turnover) and legal consequences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What can make matters worse is that the tools are used by individual users, while the fine will be charged to the company.
