The DPA of Berlin has imposed fines totaling EUR 215,000 on Humboldt Forum Service GmbH. Humboldt Forum had improperly documented sensitive information about individual employees and assessed their continued employment as 'critical' or 'very critical' on the basis of the information. The document also contained information on personal statements, health concerns, a possible interest in forming a works council and treatment in psychotherapy. During its investigation, the DPA found that the controller did not have a valid legal basis to process such sensitive data.
