Directorate of the Östra Skaraborg Rescue Service

Açıklama

The Swedish DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 34,800 on the directorate of the Östra Skaraborg Rescue Service. The DPA had received information that several fire stations in Östra Skaraborg operated surveillance cameras that filmed areas where firefighters were changing during an emergency, whereupon it initiated a review of the camera surveillance. The video surveillance was taking place around the clock, although the controller itself stated that video surveillance was only required in case of emergency alarms. The DPA concludes that the 24/7 monitoring was too far-reaching, but notes that the controller had weighty reasons for the camera surveillance. However, the camera surveillance should be limited to emergencie cases. The fine is composed proportionally of EUR 29,800 for a violation of Art. 5 (1) a), c) GDPR and EUR 5,000 for a violation of Art. 32 (1), (4) GDPR.
