The Italian DPA has fined Unicredit S.p.A. EUR 70,000. An employee had filed a complaint with the DPA claiming that their right to access their personal data had not been sufficiently respected. The company required a specific form to be filled out in order to gain access to personal data. During its investigation, the DPA found that the requirement to fill out the form made it disproportionately difficult to exercise the right of access.
