FINALDescription
The French DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 100,000 on SAMARITAINE SAS. After multiple theft incidents, the controller installed security cameras disguised as smoke detectors to monitor its employees. The cameras were installed without consulting the DPO and outside the existing surveillance system. After dismantling the 'test cameras', employees kept SD cards containing recordings, which constitutes a data breach that the controller did not report to the DPA.
