The Romanian DPA has fined the civil law firm 'Sabou, Burz & Cuc' EUR 1,000. The DPA launched an investigation after a client complained that the controller had published their personal data in a WhatsApp group used by several lawyers of a bar association without their prior consent. The DPA found that the controller had processed the data without a valid legal basis, as they had published the data for a purpose other than that originally agreed with the data subject.
