Summary

The Italian DPA imposed a fine of EUR 239,000 on Ama S.p.a.. Ama is in charge of the administration of certain cemeteries in Rome. The city of Rome had provided data of women who had abortions to Ama, which then included the data on boards placed on the graves of the fetuses. During its investigation, the DPA found that the disclosure of the women's personal data was unlawful, as the related law only provides for the provision of the data of the deceased.
