Full text

The Spanish DPA imposed a fine of EUR 96,000 on SIDECU, S.A. The controller introduced facial recognistion system as the only access method to their facilities, without offering alternative access methodes. The controller did not have a sufficient legal basis for processing the data, failed to adequately inform the data subjects about the processing, and failed to carry out a data protection impact assessment. The original fine of EUR 160,000 was reduced to EUR 96,000 due to immediate payment and admission of responsibility by the controller.
