Amiu S.p.A.

Popis

The Italian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 200,000 on Amiu S.p.A.. The company operates the waste collection service for the city of Taranto and acted as a processor for this service. The company had installed several video surveillance cameras for the purpose of monitoring illegal waste disposal. The DPA found that Amiu had posted some images from the cameras on Facebook, showing individuals sufficiently visible making it possible to identify them. During its investigation, the DPA found that Amiu did not have a valid legal basis to publish the images. It also found that the processing was not sufficiently regulated, contrary to the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR. Finally, the DPA found that Amiu had not appointed a data protection officer.
