Summary

The Italian DPA (Garante) imposed a fine of EUR 30,000 on Azienda sanitaria provinciale di Enna. The controller processed biometric data of employees for the purpose of registering their attendance. Garante found that such processing was not proportionate and therefore constituted an unjustified infringement of the rights of the data subjects. Subsequently, Garante determined that the processing of biometric data had taken place without a legal basis.
