The DPA from Luxembourg (CNPD) has imposed a fine of EUR 7,200 on a company. The company had installed a video surveillance system to protect the company's assets, prevent intrusion by unauthorized persons and prevent accidents. However, the cameras also captured parts of an employee's work area and the smoking area that employees frequently used. Furthermore, the controller had installed location sensors on the cars in its fleet. This was intended to optimize the company's operations. The DPA finds that the recording of employees was not necessary to ensure the purposes associated with the video surveillance and was therefore disproportionate. The DPA states that the controller thus violated the principle of data minimization under Article 5 (1) c) of the GDPR. The location data collected by the controller was stored for a period of eight months, although this would not have been necessary for the purposes of the processing. The DPA considered this to be a violation of the principle of data retention. Furthermore, the DPA found a violation of the information obligations set out in Art. 13 GDPR. Finally, the DPA found a violation of Art. 32 (1) GDPR.

Vodafone España, SAU

Media, Telecoms and Broadcasting

['Art. 6 (1) GDPR']

The Spanish DPA (AEPD) has imposed a fine on Vodafone España SAU. A data subject had filed a complaint with the AEPD against the data controller. The data subject states that he had received invoices and debits on his bank account for the payment of Vodafone services that he had not booked himself. The data subject also stated that he had been asked to pay for these services by the debt collection company I.S.G.F. Informes Comerciales, S.L.. As it turned out, fraudsters had used the data subject's personal data to conclude a service contract. Vodafone had subsequently canceled the contract for the booked services. Due to a system error, however, the outstanding invoices had not been canceled, which is why they had been forwarded to the collection agency. The AEPD determined that this transmission was unlawful due to the non-existence of a valid contract. The original fine of EUR 50,000 was reduced to EUR 30,000 due to voluntary payment and admission of guilt.
