FINALBeschrijving
The Norwegian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 98,000 on the Norwegian State Pension Fund (SPK). The controller had notified the DPA of a data breach pursuant to Art. 33 GDPR. The DPA found that the controller had unlawfully collected certain income information since 2016. For example, the controller had collected health-related information on disability pensions, although this was not required. Approximately 24,000 individuals were affected by these incidents. In addition, the DPA found that SPK did not implement routines to review and delete excessive information collected until 2019.
