The Norwegian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 9,700 on a company. The DPA had received a complaint from a former employee of the company. Background of the complaint is the fact that after the employee's termination, both professional and private e-mails from the employee's mailbox were automatically forwarded to an e-mail address administrated by the managing director. During its investigation, the DPA found that the controller had automatically forwarded the e-mails without a valid legal basis. Also, the controller did not inform the former employee about the processing of the data by forwarding the e-mails, contrary to its obligation under Art. 13 GDPR. Finally, the DPA found that the controller did not properly comply with a request of objection to the processing submitted by the former employee.
