€20,000 fine - Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante)
Content
The Italian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 20,000 on a bar association. Two individuals had filed a complaint with the DPA against the controller because documents relating to a court case concerning them could be viewed and downloaded in non-anonymous form on the association's website. In addition, the documents were available to be found via Google search. The association had failed to delete the documents even after repeated requests for deletion by the data subjects.
