Content
The Spanish DPA (AEPD) has imposed a fine of EUR 3,000 on a private individual. Two neighbors had complained about the individual to the DPA due to the fact that he had installed two video surveillance cameras with motion detectors on a public street. Among other things, these recorded images of the neighbors reaching their properties via the street. The authority considered this to be a violation of the principle of data minimization.
