Private individual: Insufficient legal basis for data processing

The Italian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 1,000 on a private individual. Two individuals had filed a complaint with the DPA due to the fact that the controller had published personal data of them and their families in their dissertation. The individuals had participated in treatments conducted by the controller, but they had not consented to the publication of their data in the dissertation in an unanonymized form.
