Magna PT S.p.A.: Insufficient legal basis for data processing

The Italian DPA has imposed a fine on Magna PT S.p.A. Employees of the controllers were subjected to 'return to work interviews' after returning from an absence due to illness or hospitalisation. These interviews lacked a sufficient legal basis, particularly with regard to the processing of health data. Additionally, the controller failed to adequately inform the data subjects regarding the processing. Furthermore, the controller failed to minimise the amount of data processed and the retention period to only what was necessary.
