70: Complaints
or “How to complain if you think someone has interfered with your privacy”
You could also call this:

“Anyone can complain about privacy matters, even if they weren't personally affected”

You can make a complaint about privacy matters. Anyone is allowed to do this. You don’t have to be the person who was affected by the privacy issue.

If you’re not the person who was affected, you can still make a complaint. You can do this for one person or for a group of people who have been affected by the same privacy issue.
