Summary

The Spanish DPA has imposed a fine on a private individual. A data subject had filed a complaint against their ex-partner with the DPA. The ex-partner had installed video surveillance cameras in the jointly occupied residency, which also recorded parts of their private living areas and and jointly used parts of the residency. The DPA considered this to be a violation of the principle of data minimization. The original fine of EUR 300 was reduced to EUR 240 due to voluntary payment.
