FINALDescription
The Spanish DPA (AEPD) has imposed a fine on the political party PODEMOS PARTIDO POLÍTICO. The controller had installed video surveillance cameras which, among other things, also covered the public space. The DPA considered this to be a violation of the principle of data minimization. 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. Due to voluntary payment and acknowledgement of guilt, the original fine in the amount of EUR 4,000 was reduced to EUR 2,400.
