Summary

The Italian DPA imposed a fine of EUR 20,000 on Encore Thermoengineering s.r.l. The controller legally obtained employee data from another company that had gone bankrupt. The controller never hired those subjects. However, the controller failed to comply with the principle of data minimization by storing the data without a time limit, and failed to adequately respond to a request for erasure by the data subjects.
