Description

The DPA from Luxembourg (CNPD) has imposed a fine of EUR 6,800 on a company. The company had installed a video surveillance system to protect the company's assets, prevent intrusion by unauthorized persons and prevent accidents. However, the cameras also captured parts of an employee's work area, the smoking area that employees frequently used and parts of the public space. The DPA states that the controller thus violated the principle of data minimization under Art. 5 (1) c) of the GDPR. Furthermore, the DPA found a violation of the information obligations set out in Art. 13 GDPR, by not properly informing its employees and third parties about the video surveillance.
