FINALBeskrivning
The Spanish DPA (AEPD) has imposed a fine of EUR 1,500 on a private individual. The controller had installed a surveillance camera on his property, which recorded, among other things, the public space and neighboring properties. According to the controller, he had installed the camera for security purposes regarding his property. The AEPD considered this to be a violation of the principle of data minimization, as such extensive monitoring was not necessary to protect the controller's property
