Full text

The Hungarian DPA (NAIH) has imposed a fine of EUR 1,400 on a company. In the course of his professional activities, a data subject had made a telephone call to the controller on September 23, 2019. The controller had recorded the conversation without informing the data subject or obtaining his consent and then provided it to the company where the data subject was employed. The employer of the data subject subsequently terminated his employment because the recorded telephone call apparently did not meet the company's service and professional standards. The DPA finds that the controller not only processed the data subject's data without a legal basis, but also breached its accountability obligation by failing to demonstrate the lawfulness of the processing. In addition, the controller violated its duty to provide information under Art. 13 GDPR.
