The Croation DPA (AZOP) has imposed a fine of EUR 4,000 on a hospital. The AZOP found that the hospital used a company which automatically retrieved personal data of vehicle owners via the Ministry of the Interior's web service without a legal basis, to issue parking fines for vehicle owners. Additionally, the hospital failed to inform parking users transparently and in accordance with legal requirements about the processing of their personal data related to parking fees. Furthermore, the hospital did not implement appropriate organizational measures to protect the data and lacked a contractual agreement with the external commercial company processing the data. The hospital was fined for breaching Art. 13, Art. 14 (2)(f), Art. 25 (1) and Art. 28(3) GDPR.
