Private individual: Non-compliance with general data processing principles

The Austrian DPA imposed a fine of EUR 600 on a private individual. The individual had contacted a public institution to draw their attention to the fact that the statement of a kindergarten teacher that she was 50% disabled did not correspond to reality. For this purpose, the person submitted a court report that contained health-related data of the data subject. In the course of its investigation, the DPA found that the transmission of the court report constituted an unlawful processing of the kindergarten teacher's personal data.
