Car trading group

Опис

The DPA of Hamburg has imposed a fine of EUR 10,110 on a car trading group. The company had informed the customer base that the reasons for the restructuring there was the absence of an employee due to illness. The company informed approximately 3,000 customers, among other things, of the exact date on which the employee's inability to work occurred and that the situation would continue for an indefinite period of time. The DPA found that the company did not present a valid legal basis for such transfer of personal health data, and therefore transferred the data unlawfully.
