Summary

The Romanian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 1,500 on MAYR MELNHOF PACKAGING ROMANIA S.R.L.. The controller had installed video surveillance cameras in the premises for the purpose of protecting company assets and the safety of employees. During its investigation, the DPA also found that the cameras covered the employee cafeteria and smoking area, allowing employees to be monitored outside of their working hours. The DPA states that the recording of the employees was not necessary to ensure the purposes associated with the video surveillance and was therefore disproportionate. The DPA found this to be a violation of the principle of data minimization.
