On two occasions, it alerted the company to the rules to be observed when installing cameras in the workplace, in particular, that employees should not be filmed continuously and that information about the data processing has to be provided.
Denmark	Danish Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet)	03/06/2019	EUR €	200,850	IDdesign A / S	Art. 5 (1) (e) and (2) GDPR	Retail	The fine was imposed as a result of an inspection carried out in atom of 2018. IDdesign had processed personal data of approximately 385,000 customers for a longer period than necessary for the purposes for which they were processed. Additionally, the company had not established and documented deadlines for deletion of personal data in their new CRM system. The deadlines set for the old system were not deleted after the deadline for the information had been reached. Also, the controller had not adequately documented its personal data deletion procedures. Please note: Since Danish law does not provide for administrative fines as in the GDPR (unless it is an uncomplicated case and the accused person consented), fines will be imposed by courts.
Belgium	Belgian Data Protection Authority	28/05/2019	EUR €	2,000	Mayor	Art. 5 (1) (b) GDPR, Art. 6 GDPR	Public Authority	The administrative fine was imposed for the misuse of personal data by a mayor for campaign purposes.

Although the vulnerability was known to the company since March 2018, it was not finally resolved until September 2018. In addition, the company stored the documentation provided by candidates for longer than necessary. The CNIL took into account i.a. the seriousness of the breach (lack of due care in addressing vulnerability and the fact that the documents revealed very intimate aspects of users' lives), the size of the company and its financial standing.

According to the supervisory authority, a data breach notification pursuant to Art. 33 DSGVO would have been necessary. The controller did not report the Data Breach.
Czech Republic	Czech Data Protection Authority	13/05/2019	EUR €	3,105	Not disclosed	Art. 5 (1) a) and b) GDPR, Art. 32 (1) GDPR	Not disclosed	Not disclosed

Using the personal data obtained in this way, he then carried out a so-called SARS enquiry with the Federal Network Agency, in which he asked not only for the personal data of the injured parties but also for the home and mobile phone numbers stored there. Using the mobile phone number obtained in this way, the police officer contacted the injured party by telephone - without any official reason or consent given by the injured party. Through the ZEVIS and SARS enquiry for private purposes and the use of the mobile phone number obtained in this way for private contact, the police officer has processed personal data outside the scope of the law on his own authority.

Poland	Polisch National Personal Data Protection Office	25/04/2019	EUR €	12,950	Sports association	Art. 6 GDPR	Sport/Recreation	One sports association published personal data referring to judges who were granted judicial licenses online. However, not only their names were provided, but also their exact addresses and PESEL numbers. Meanwhile, there is no legal basis for such a wide range of data on judges to be available on the Internet. By making them public, the administrator posed a potential risk of their unauthorized use, e.g. to impersonate them for the purpose of borrowing or other obligations. Although the association itself noticed its own error, as evidenced by the notification of a personal data protection breach to the President of the PDPA, the fact that attempts to remove it were ineffective determined the imposition of a penalty. When determining the amount of the fine (PLN 55,750.50), the President of UODO also took into account, among others, the duration of the infringement and the fact that it concerned a large group of persons (585 judges).
Italy	Italian Data Protection Authority	17/04/2019	EUR €	50,000	Italian political party Movimento 5 Stelle	Art. 32 GDPR	Government/Military	A number of websites referral partnerd to the Italian political party Movimento 5 Stelle are run, by means of a data processor, through the platform named Rousseau. The platform had suffered a data breach during the summer 2017 that led the Italian data protection authority, the Garante, to require the implementation of a number of security measures, in addition to the obligation to update the privacy information notice in order to give additional transparency to the data processing activities performed.While the update of the privacy information notice was timely completed, the Italian data protection authority, raised its concerns as to the lack of implementation on the Rousseau platform of some of GDPR related security measures.

Hungary	Hungarian National Authority for Data Protection and the Freedom of Information	05/04/2019	EUR €	34,375	Hugarian political party	Art. 33 (1) GDPR, Art. 33 (5) GDPR, Art. 34 (1) GDPR	Government/Military	NAIH imposed a fine of HUF 11,000,000 (EUR 34,375) on an undisclosed Hungarian political party for failing to notify the NAIH and relevant individuals about a data breach, and failing to document the breach according to GDPR Article 33.5. As mandated by law, the fine was based on 4% of the party's annual turnover and 2.65 % of its anticipated turnover for the coming year. The breach was the result of a cyber attack by an anonymous hacker who accessed and disclosed information on the vulnerability of the organisation’s system – a database of more than 6,000 individuals – and the command used for the attack. The system was vulnerable to attack because of a redirection problem with the organisation's web-page. After the attacker published the command, even people with low IT knowledge were able to retrieve information from the database.

Norway	Norwegian Supervisory Authority	01/03/2019	EUR €	170,000	Bergen Municipality	Art. 5 (1) f) GDPR, Art. 32 GDPR	Public Authority	The incident relates to computer files with usernames and passwords to over 35000 user accounts in the municipality’s computer system. The user accounts related to both pupils in the municipality’s primary schools, and to the employees of the same schools. Due to insufficient security measures, these files have been unprotected and openly accessible. The lack of security measures in the system made it possible for anyone to log in to the school’s various information systems, and thereby to access various categories of personal data relating to the pupils and employees of the schools. The fact that the security breach encompasses personal data to over 35 000 individuals, and that the majority of these are children, were considered to be aggravating factors. The municipality had also been warned several times, both by the authority and an internal whistle-blower, that the data security was inadequate.
Poland	Polisch National Personal Data Protection Office	26/03/2019	EUR €	219,538	Private company working with data from publicly available sources	Art. 14 GDPR	Business/Company/Employer	The fine concerned the proceedings related to the activity of a company which processed the data subjects’ data obtained from publicly available sources, inter alia from the Central Electronic Register and Information on Economic Activity, and processed the data for commercial purposes. The authority verified noncompliance with the information obligation in relation to natural persons conducting business activity – entrepreneurs who are currently conducting such activity or have suspended it, as well as entrepreneurs who conducted such activity in the past. The controller fulfilled the information obligation by providing the information required under Art. 14 (1) – (3) of the GDPR only in relation to the persons whose e-mail addresses it had at its disposal. In case of the remaining persons the controller failed to comply with the information obligation – as it explained in the course of the proceedings – due to high operational costs. Therefore, it presented the information clause only on its website. According to the UODO this is not sufficient.
Bulgaria	Data Protection Commission of Bulgaria	26/03/2019	EUR €	5,100	A.P. EOOD	Art. 5 (1) a) GDPR, Art. 6 GDPR	Real Estate	The sanction was imposed on personal data administrator A.P.

Hungary	Hungarian National Authority for Data Protection and the Freedom of Information	04/03/2019	EUR €	3,200	Financial Institution	Art. 5 (1) (b) and (c) GDPR, Art. 13 (3) GDPR, Art. 17 (1) GDPR, Art. 6 (4) GDPR	Financial Services	The fine was imposed in relation to a data subject's request for data correction and erasure. NAIH levied a fine against an unnamed financial institution for unlawfully rejecting a customer’s request to have his phone number erased after arguing that it was in the company's legitimate interest to process this data in order to enforce a debt claim against the customer. In its decision, the NAIH emphasized that the customer’s phone number is not necessary for the purpose of debt collection because the creditor can also communicate with the debtor by post. Consequently, keeping the phone number of the debtor was against the principles of data minimisation and purpose limitation. As per the law, the assessed fine was based on 0.025% of the company's annual net revenue.
Czech Republic	Czech Data Protection Authority	28/02/2019	EUR €	582	Not disclosed	Art. 5 (1) (f) GDPR	Not disclosed	Data was not processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures ('integrity and confidentiality').

For identification purposes he requested place of birth, mother’s maiden name and further details from the data subject. After the controller succeeded to identify the data subjects he refused to comply with the deletion request, arguing he is legally obliged to retain backup copies according to the Accountancy Act and internal policies. Since he did not properly inform about these policies, the NAIH held the controller breached the principle of transparency. The fine constitutes 0.0025% of the annual profit of the controller.

The video surveillance subject of the proceedings is therefore not limited to areas which are under the exclusive power of control of the controller. Video surveillance is therefore not proportionate to the purpose and not limited to what is necessary. The video surveillance records the hallway of the house and films residents entering and leaving the surrounding apartments, thereby intervening in their highly personal areas of life without the consent to record their image data. The video surveillance was not properly indicated.

Denmark	Danish Data Protection Authority	05/07/2019	EUR €	160,000	Taxa 4x35	Art. 5(1) e) GDPR	Transportation/Logistics	The Danish DPA reported the taxi company to the police and recommended a fine (of 1.2M DKK) for non-adherence to the data-minimization principle.

The bank initially justified this by stating that it was obliged under the German Banking Act to take security measures against customers suspected of money laundering. The Berlin supervisory authority judged this to be illegal. The authority argues that in order to prevent a new bank account from being opened, only those affected may be included in a comparison file who are actually suspected of money laundering or for whom there are other valid reasons for refusing a new bank account. The authority told a newspaper that the fine proceedings initiated against the bank had "not yet been legally concluded".

Belgium	Belgian Data Protection Authority (APD)	14/07/2020	EUR €	600,000	Google Belgium SA	Art. 5 GDPR, Art. 6 GDPR, Art. 17 (1) a) GDPR, Art. 12 GDPR	Technology	Insufficient fulfilment of data subjects rights The Belgian data protection authority has fined Google Belgium SA, a subsidiary of Google, 600,000 euros. The reasons for the fine were the rejection of an application by a data subject for dereferencing outdated articles that the data subject had considered to be damaging to its reputation, and lack of transparency in Google's form for dereferencing applications. The Belgian data protection authority found that articles relating to unfounded harassment complaints could have serious consequences for the data subjects, and natural persons were therefore entitled to have articles deleted/dereferenced. This also applies to persons who hold political office, even though these offices are generally less worthy of protection due to their public status and articles relating to political persons may therefore be stored for a longer period of time. Google's rejection of the application was therefore in breach of Article 17 of the GDPR (fine for this breach: €500,000). In addition, a further €100,000 was imposed for breach of the principle of transparency, as Google's rejection of the request for deletion was not sufficiently justified
