Summary

The Italian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 20,000 against Azienda Usl Toscana Sud Est. The controller had put up an information poster in the emergency room showing a healthcare professional at a computer, on which an emergency protocol with the personal data (including health data) of a data subject was visible. In response to a request from the DPA, the healthcare provider explained that the publication of the data was due to mere inattention and that the poster had only been displayed for a few weeks.
