Company: Non-compliance with general data processing principles

The DPA of Luxembourg (CNPD) has imposed a fine of EUR 10,000 on a company. The company had installed a video surveillance system for the purpose of protecting company property and staff. However, the cameras also constantly captured parts of employee's work areas, a break room, a meeting room and a neighbor property. The DPA states that the controller violated the principle of data minimization under Art. 5 (1) c) GDPR due to the excessive CCTV. Furthermore, the DPA found a violation of the information obligations set out in Art. 13 GDPR, by not properly informing data subjects about the video surveillance.
