€120,000 fine - Spanish Data Protection Authority (aepd)
Content
The Spanish DPA imposed a fine on SERVICIOS ESPECIALES, S.A. The case concerned a GDPR breach during an internal workplace conflict investigation: the company shared a report via email that included the full names, roles, and complaint details of the individuals involved, to the Works Committee and 15 additional employees. The DPA found this disclosure violated Article 5 (1) f) GDPR, as it failed to ensure the confidentiality of personal data. The original fine of EUR 200,000 was reduced to EUR 120,000 due to voluntary payment and acknowledgment of responsibility.
