Case details

Authority: Spanish Data Protection Authority (aepd)
Date: 2023-03-15
Controller / Processor: Private individual
Sector: Individuals and Private Associations
Quoted Articles: Art. 5 (1) c) GDPR, Art. 13 GDPR
Type of violation: Non-compliance with general data processing principles

Summary

The Spanish DPA has imposed a fine on a private individual. The controller had installed a video surveillance camera which also covered the public space and a neighbour property. The DPA considered this to be a violation of the principle of data minimization. In addition, the controller had not properly informed data subjects about the processing of the data by the video surveillance and thus violated its duty to inform. The original fine of EUR 600 was reduced to EUR 480 due to voluntary payment.
