FINALΠεριγραφή
The Italian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 10,000 on the city of Rome (Roma capitale). The city had published a document on the municipal website stating that a mother had not paid canteen fees. The document contained personal data of the mother and her minor child. The city stated that, in the absence of a permanent address of the mother to which the notice could have been sent, it had published the document to notify the homeless mother of the debt. However, the DPA found that this could not be considered a sufficient legal basis for processing the personal data, and thus the city unlawfully processed the data.
