Summary

The Austrian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 50,700 on a political party. The controller had sent two emails in an open distribution list. This allowed the recipients to view the email addresses of all other recipients and to determine the workplace and political affiliation of the data subjects. --- Update --- The Austrian Federal Administrative Court has reduced the amount of the fine from EUR 50,700 to EUR 28,000 due to the current financial situation of the controller.
