Company

Beschreibung

The Hungarian DPA (NAIH) has imposed a fine of EUR 570 on a company. In the course of his professional activities, a data subject had made a telephone call to a company on September 23, 2019. The company had recorded the conversation without informing the data subject or obtaining his consent, and subsequently made it available to the company where the data subject was employed (the controller). The controller then terminated the employment relationship because the recorded telephone conversation apparently did not meet the controller's service and professional standards. The DPA finds that the controller not only processed the data subject's data without a legal basis, but also breached its accountability obligations by failing to demonstrate the lawfulness of the processing. In addition, the controller violated its obligation to provide information pursuant to Art. 13 GDPR.
