FINALDescription
The Spanish DPA has imposed a fine on DISPLAY CONNECTORS, S.L.. An individual had filed a complaint with the DPA regarding the controller's publication of information about a court case that included personal data of the complainant's minor son. During its investigation, the DPA determined that the minor's right to privacy outweighed the controller's freedom of information, and thus the publication violated the principle of data minimization. The original fine of EUR 50,000 was reduced to EUR 30,000 due to voluntary payment and admission of responsibility.
