Summary

The Italian DPA has fined the newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore S.p.a. EUR 40,000. The newspaper had published an article on the recognition by the Italian authorities of a U.S. judge's decision on the adoption of a child by a same-sex couple. By mistake, the newspaper also published personal data on the couple and the adopted child. The couple then demanded the deletion of the personal data and access to information about the processing of the personal data. The newspaper deleted the personal data, but failed to comply with the data subjects' right of access.
