Summary

The Italian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 10,000 on Giuliano Isontina University Health Authority. The controller notified the relevant authorities of a personal data breach regarding a data subject's health record. The data subject's former spouse and three other healthcare professionals employed by the controller accessed this data without authorisation. The personal data could be accessed due to a loophole that allowed unauthorised personnel to access personal data via an override using a self-declaration form stating the reason for accessing that data.
