Region of Tuscany: Insufficient legal basis for data processing

The Italian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 16,000 on the Region of Tuscany. The region had published documents on its website containing information on professionals from the tourism sector who had applied for emergency aid in the context of the covid-19 pandemic. The documents showed, among other things, the name, address of the data subjects as well as the amount of aid granted.
