19 Dec 2024 Danske Shoppingcentre P/SDanske Shoppingcentre: 350,000 DKK for camera above urinal in City2 shopping centre DenmarkVideo surveillance €46,909

Because of vandalism, the operator of the City2 shopping centre had installed cameras in toilet areas; one camera in the men’s toilets also captured the area in front of the urinal despite a black masking, and there were no signs. The court followed the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet) and the public prosecutor and imposed 350,000 DKK for breach of the data minimisation principle.

What organisations can take from it

Cameras have virtually no place in toilet and changing areas – masking parts of the image is no substitute for checking the location.

19 Dec 2024 CNIL: 40,000 EUR against estate agency over constant video surveillance of staff FranceVideo surveillance €40,000

An estate agency (name redacted in the publication) continuously filmed workstations and break areas with image and sound, accessible via a smartphone app, and used the software Time Doctor to record keyboard and mouse activity as well as screenshots of the computers; several people accessed this data via the administrator account of one of them. The French data protection authority (CNIL) found infringements of data minimisation, legal basis, information, security and the obligation to carry out an impact assessment, and imposed 40,000 EUR.

What organisations can take from it

Permanent video and audio recording of workplaces is practically never proportionate – not even in a small business.

11 Dec 2024 Granit Bostad Beritsholm ABGranit Bostad Beritsholm: 200,000 SEK for round-the-clock video surveillance in a block of flats SwedenVideo surveillance €17,366

The landlord monitored a multi-family building in Malmö around the clock with cameras at entrances, lifts, flat doors, in the stairwell, the basement and the refuse room, without any legal basis for doing so; the signs did not name the controller. The Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) imposed 200,000 SEK and ordered the landlord to stop the surveillance except in the garage and to supplement the signs.

What organisations can take from it

Video surveillance in residential buildings requires a balancing of interests for each individual area – problems such as vandalism do not justify blanket, permanent surveillance.
