The DPA issued a warning to the publisher GEDI after it agreed to provide OpenAI with news content that will be used to train OpenAI’s AI models. The DPA considered the imposed legitimate interest was insufficient as a legal basis and that information obligations were not met.
English Summary
Facts
GEDI Gruppo Editoriale S.p.A., the parent company of the editorial group GEDI, the controller, concluded a contract with OpenAI, with the objective of “bringing Italian-language content from GEDI's portfolio of high-quality news agencies to OpenAI users", who "will have access to attributed quotes, contents and links to GEDI publications, including La Repubblica and La Stampa". This contract will last for three years and entails a remuneration that GEDI will receive upon sharing editorial content with OpenAI.
OpenAI in turn commits to use such content to allow users to do real-time research, and to have available a summary right away, comprising a hyperlink to such news.
A DPIA was conducted and transmitted to the Italian DPA stating that the data processing will happen on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, namely the legitimate interest to exercise the profession of journalist in innovatively.
Holding
The DPA started this ex officio procedure on the basis of Article 58(1)(a) GDPR due to some alarming preliminary considerations.
First, the party to the contract with the controller is OpenAI OpCo LLC, while according to the contract the data will be shared to OpenAI Ireland Ltd. Moreover, the contract is made with GEDI Gruppo Editoriale S.p.A., however the editorial content referred to belong to subsidiaries to GERI.
Second, the legal basis for the processing, namely the transfer of data from GEDI to OpenAI, was Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. However, considering that the data processing will be of “large scale” and of “particular nature”, the DPIA did not sufficiently consider this in the context of Article 9 and 10 GDPR.
Third, it is unclear how the claimed legal basis would also be relevant to train OpenAI’s artificial intelligence operations.
Fourth, the transparency requirements as per Article 13 and 14 GDPR were not met.
In light of all these considerations, under Article 58(1)(a) GDPR, the DPA deemed it fit to issue a warning for the plausible violations of Article 9, 10, 13 and 14 GDPR.

Massena, 2 - 20145 Milan, owner of the contents present on the site www.alfemminile.com; NOTING that the Company has specified that “all editorial content will be used by OpenAI to allow users [of the ChatGPT service, editor’s note] to search for current news in real time, with the simultaneous provision of a summary (generated by OpenAI artificial intelligence systems) and a direct link to the news item itself” and that “all editorial content will also be used by OpenAI to improve its services and train its artificial intelligence algorithms”; NOTING that the data protection impact assessment (hereinafter “DPIA”), including the “concurrent balancing of the legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6 and Article 35 of the Regulation”, was transmitted to the Authority on 19 November 2024, as it had not yet been completed at the time of the response to the request for information pursuant to Articles 58, paragraph 1, letter a) of the Regulation and 157 of the Code; CONSIDERING that the DPIA shows that the “Processing of so-called common personal data is based on the legitimate interest of the Data Controller pursuant to art. 6 par. 1, letter f) GDPR (considered prevalent, as specified below) to exercise journalistic activity according to innovative methods and capable of preserving the capacity and informative function of editorial content” and that the “Processing of personal data belonging to particular categories and relating to criminal convictions and (residual) crimes, is carried out in compliance – in particular – with art. 136 and 137 of the Privacy Code and the provisions contained within the Deontological Rules”; CONSIDERING, from a formal perspective, that from the documentation in the files it emerges that the contractual counterparty of the agreement stipulated by GEDI is the US company OpenAI OpCo LLC, while from the same files it appears that the communication of personal data will be made to OpenAI Ireland Ltd. (hereinafter “OpenAI IE”); CONSIDERING also that the agreement was entered into by GEDI, but that the editorial contents refer to GEDI News Network S.p.A., GEDI Periodici e Servizi S.p.A., GEDI Digital S.r.l., Monet S.r.l. and Alfemminile S.r.l., qualified as independent data controllers; CONSIDERING that the legal basis of the processing was identified by GEDI in the legitimate interest of each data controller to exercise journalistic activity in innovative ways, preserving the capacity and informative function of the editorial contents; CONSIDERING that the processing activities can be classified as “large scale” given that they are intended to involve a large volume of personal data, including of a particular nature, in particular those contained in the GEDI archives as of 29 November 2024 and those contained in the articles that will be published after 30 November 2024; CONSIDERING that the legal basis relating to the communication to OpenAI of editorial content that includes data of a particular nature pursuant to Articles 9 and 10 of the Regulation, a processing activity carried out by the Company as part of the exercise of journalistic activity pursuant to Articles 136 and 137 of the Code, is not, at present, sufficiently analysed in the DPIA, in particular in light of the provisions of Article 137, paragraph 3, of the Code which provides that "in the event of dissemination or communication of data for the purposes referred to in Article 136, the limits of the right to report remain in place to protect the rights referred to in Article 1, paragraph 2, of the Regulation and Article 1 of this Code and, in particular, that of the essentiality of the information regarding facts of public interest"; CONSIDERING that legitimate interest is not a condition legitimizing the processing of personal data of a particular nature since, Article 9 of the Regulation, in its second paragraph, identifies such "legal bases" as exceptions to the general rule of the first paragraph, according to which: "It is prohibited to process personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, as well as to process genetic data, biometric data intended to uniquely identify a natural person, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person's sex life or sexual orientation."; CONSIDERING that it does not appear sufficiently clear how the legal basis of the legitimate interest used by GEDI, in the terms described above, for the processing of data for journalistic purposes, could also be a suitable legal basis to allow GEDI to communicate the personal data included in the editorial content to OpenAI, including for "training" operations of its own artificial intelligence applications; the latter activity, as GEDI itself reports, "completely removed from the participation and control of GEDI and the GEDI Group's newspapers"; CONSIDERING that individuals whose personal data, both common and particular, contained in the archives and articles that will be communicated to OpenAI, cannot reasonably expect such communication and that the supplementary paragraph of the privacy notices published on the websites of the newspapers involved, produced by GEDI, does not appear sufficient to consider the transparency obligation pursuant to Articles 13 and 14 of the Regulation fulfilled, given that to date this paragraph has not yet been published (e.g. the privacy notice of La Repubblica is updated to December 2023) and that it is addressed to users registered with the aforementioned newspapers and not to the interested parties whose data are communicated to OpenAI; CONSIDERING ALSO that, although in the integration to the privacy information mentioned above the Company states that “Each interested party may always, at any time, exercise the right to oppose the communication of data to OpenAI and the other rights recognized by the applicable legislation (as also described in other sections of this information) by means of a communication to be sent to the publisher, at the following address: [_].To the same addresses, requests for further details on the legitimate interest pursued by the publisher as well as on the subjects involved in the processing may also be sent”, and that the same Company in the DPIA declares that “it will implement suitable procedures to guarantee the fulfillment of the obligations deriving from the applicable legislation including those referred to in Article 19 GDPR”, GEDI is not in a position to guarantee the rights of the interested parties; in fact, both with reference to the journalistic archives that will be communicated en bloc on 30 November 2024, and in cases in which the communication to OpenAI will take place at the same time as the publication of the individual articles, the exercise of the right of opposition towards the GEDI group newspapers involved does not appear to be effective given that, in such cases, the exercise of the rights referred to in Chapter III of the Regulation may take place exclusively towards OpenAI IE; CONSIDERING that the DPIA shows that “The GEDI Group newspapers are not and will not be, therefore, responsible in any way for the operation or set of operations of processing of personal data carried out by OpenAI, not even with reference to the personal data included in the content communicated to OpenAI under the Agreement”; CONSIDERING that, under the Agreement, it is expected that OpenAI acts as “independent data controller and may use such content (and, therefore, the personal data included therein) for the purposes of training its own artificial intelligence systems, and for the purposes of improving its services, such as improving the accessibility of content when users search for such information using ChatGPT”; CONSIDERING, therefore, the need to address, pursuant to art. 58, paragraph 2, letter a), of the Regulation and art. 154, paragraph 1, letter c), of the Regulation, f), of the Code, a warning to GEDI Gruppo Editoriale S.p.A and all companies party to the editorial content communication agreement stipulated with OpenAI, namely GEDI News Network S.p.A., GEDI Periodici e Servizi S.p.A., GEDI Digital S.r.l., Monet S.r.l. and Alfemminile S.r.l., as data controllers, that the communication of the editorial content of the aforementioned GEDI Group publications to OpenAI could likely constitute a violation of the provisions of Articles 9, 10, 13, 14 and Chapter III of the Regulation, with all the consequences, including sanctions, provided for therein; SEEN the documentation in the files; SEEN the observations formulated by the Secretary General pursuant to Article 15 of Regulation No. 1/2000; REPORTER Prof. Pasquale Stanzione; NOW, GIVEN THE FOREGOING, THE GUARANTOR: a) pursuant to art. 58, par. 2, letter a), of the Regulation and art. 154, paragraph 1, letter f), of the Code, warns GEDI Gruppo Editoriale S.p.A., with registered office in Turin, via Ernesto Lugaro 15 and all the companies party to the editorial content communication agreement stipulated with OpenAI, specifically GEDI News Network S.p.A., GEDI Periodici e Servizi S.p.A., GEDI Digital S.r.l., Monet S.r.l. and Alfemminile S.r.l., as data controllers of the personal data, that the communication of the editorial content of the aforementioned GEDI Group publications to OpenAI could likely violate the provisions of arts. 9, 10, 13, 14 and Chapter III of the Regulation.
