2 Sep 2025 IDdesign A/SIDdesign: High Court raises GDPR fine to 1.5 million DKK – group turnover counts DenmarkData protection €200,986

The furniture retailer had stored data of around 385,000 customers in a legacy system without retention periods. The district court had imposed 100,000 DKK; following a referral to the CJEU on whether the fine is to be calculated on the basis of the turnover of the entire group, the High Court increased the fine to 1.5 million DKK.

What organisations can take from it

Retention periods also apply to legacy systems in individual branches – and the group turnover counts when setting the fine.
