FINALBeschreibung
The DPA of Hessen has imposed a fine of EUR 16,000 on a freelancer. The controller operates a website without a privacy policy. The DPA contacted the controller, ordering him to include a privacy policy on his website, and announced that he would be fined EUR 2,000 if he did not comply. The controller ignored the order, resulting in the DPA ordering him a second and third time to include a privacy policy on his website. The controller continued to ignore the DPA's orders. Therefore, the DPA imposed a total fine of EUR 16,000. This fine consists of EUR 10,000 for ignoring the DPA's orders and EUR 2,000 for each of the three ignored orders to include a privacy policy on the controller's website.
