Summary

The Spanish DPA (AEPD) has fined Alava Norte, S.L. EUR 4,000. The controller had installed three 360° video surveillance cameras on the facade of one of its buildings to secure the facility. These also captured parts of the public space. The AEPD considered this to be a violation of the principle of data minimization, as such extensive video surveillance was not necessary to fulfill the purpose of the processing (security of the facility).
