Full text

The Spanish DPA (AEPD) has fined a bar owner EUR 3,000. A data subject had filed a complaint with the DPA. He had suffered an accident in the bar which was recorded by the surveillance cameras. The controller states that he had installed the surveillance cameras for security purposes. At a later date, the video was distributed via WhatsApp and published in a digital newspaper. The data subject claims to be personally affected in his reputation by the publication of the video. The DPA concludes that the publication of the images was not related to the purpose of the video surveillance and that the controller therefore violated Art. 5 (1) b) GDPR.
