Lazio Region

Mô tả

The Italian DPA has fined Lazio Region EUR 100,000. A trade union had filed a complaint with the DPA alleging that the Region had monitored the e-mail accounts of employees of the Region's legal department. The Region had initiated such monitoring on suspicion of possible disclosure of information protected by official secrecy to third parties. The Region stored and analyzed the employees' data for 180 days. The data included not only information related to work, but also personal data of the data subjects concerning their private sphere. During its investigation, the DPA found that the Region at the time did not have a valid legal basis for such a large-scale collection of personal data.
