FINALDescripción
The Irish DPA imposed a fine of EUR 550,000 on the Departement of Social Security. The controller uses the so called SAFE 2 registration process for anyone applying for a Public Services Card. The SAFE 2 registration, which is mandatory, processes biometric data without a sufficient legal basis. The controller also failed to adequately inform data subjects in regards to the processing and to conduct a data protection impact assessment.
