In order to identify a guest who had not paid, several visitors were contacted by employees of a restaurant. For this purpose, the telephone numbers provided by the guests as part of the Covid contact tracing tracing were used. Since the guests had provided their data solely for infection control purposes, the DPA considered the contacting for the purpose of identifying the guest to be a violation of the principle of purpose limitation (Art. 5 (1) b) GDPR).
