Description

The DPA from Luxembourg (CNPD) has imposed a fine of EUR 2,600 on a company. The controller had installed a video surveillance system to protect the company's assets and prevent entry by unauthorized persons.However, the cameras also excessively captured parts of the canteen which serves as a break location for employees. The DPA finds that recording employees during their break is not necessary to ensure the purposes related to the video surveillance and was therefore disproportionate. The DPA finds that the controller has thus violated the principle of data minimization under Article 5 (1) c) GDPR. In addition, the controller had not properly informed the data subjects about the processing of the data by the video surveillance and thus violated its duty to inform.
