FINALΠεριγραφή
The Italian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 80,000 on Selectra S.p.A.. A former employee had lodged a complaint with the DPA on the grounds that the controller was able to access their e-mail inbox even after the termination of the employment relationship. The DPA found that such a long retention period for e-mails (in some cases three years after the termination of the employment relationship) was excessive. The DPA also found that the controller had not provided the data subjects with sufficient information about the data processing (e.g. regarding the retention period for e-mail data).
