Summary

The Croation DPA (AZOP) has imposed a fine of EUR 3,000 on a hospital. Despite the extensive and high-risk processing of health data, the hospital had not implemented sufficient organizational measures to ensure the security of data processing. Specifically, measures to ensure the confidentiality of health information were lacking, which undermined trust in medical services and patient privacy. The hospital was fined for breaching Art. 13, Art.32, Art. 33, and Art. 34(1) GDPR.
