Amazon Road Transport Spain S.L.

Περιγραφή

The Spanish DPA (AEPD) has fined Amazon Road Transport Spain S.L. EUR 2,000,000. The AEPD had received a complaint from a trade union against the company. Amazon Road required certificates confirming the absence of criminal records when hiring drivers. Amazon Road believed that these certifications were not subject to Art. 10 GDPR. However, contrary to Amazon Road's interpretation, the AEPD determined that these data do fall under Art. 10 GDPR. During its investigation, the AEPD concluded that the processing of these data consequently did not comply with the requirements of Art. 10 GDPR. For this reason, the DPA came to the conclusion that Amazon Road had processed the data on the absence of criminal records without a valid legal basis.
