Operator of a care facility

설명

The Hungarian DPA (NAIH) has imposed a fine of EUR 1,425 on the operator of a care facility. The operator had installed a total of 25 cameras in all rooms of the facility, with the exception of the restrooms, locker rooms and the main nurses' station. Both the residents of the facility and the employees were recorded by the video surveillance. The controller states that the cameras were installed for security purposes. These included preventing unauthorized persons from gaining access to the facility and deterring theft. The DPA states that such extensive video surveillance was not necessary for the processing purpose (security of the facility). Furthermore, the controller did not sufficiently inform the data subjects about the data processing.
