Company

תיאור

The DPA of Bremen has imposed a five-digit fine on a company. The company had sent an unredacted social plan to all affected employees in the context of dismissals due to operational reasons, resulting in the disclosure of personal data contained therein, such as date of birth, age, marital status, number of dependent children, function in the company, severe disability, etc., to all employees. The DPA found that such extensive disclosure of personal data was unlawful due to the lack of a legal basis. The DPA considered the fact that special categories of personal data, such as information on a severe disability, had also been disclosed to be an aggravating factor.
