Private individual

Description

The Romanian DPA (ANSPDCP) has imposed a fine of EUR 200 on a private individual due to the unlawful disclosure of personal data. The controller had disclosed personal data of several individuals by distributing some materials in households of the municipality and through posts on his personal Facebook account. This involved, on the one hand, a photo of a salary statement of the data subject, whereby, among other things, the surname, first name, place of work and salary could be extracted. The other was a photo of a file from the register of children enrolled in the kindergarten of the municipality, whereby personal data of a minor child were disclosed. The DPA found that the controller had processed the data without a legal basis and had not informed the data subjects about the processing of their data.
