4 Sep 2025 Einheitlicher Abwicklungsausschuss (Single Resolution Board, SRB)CJEU: pseudonymised data in disclosure to Deloitte – EDPS v SRB EU levelData subject rights and transparency —

The Single Resolution Board (SRB) passed on pseudonymised comments from former Banco Popular shareholders to Deloitte without informing the data subjects; the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) considered this an infringement of the duty to inform. The Court of Justice of the European Union (Case C-413/23 P) set aside the judgment of the General Court and clarified that the duty to inform is to be assessed from the controller's perspective at the time of collection; the case was referred back to the General Court.

What organisations can take from it

Pseudonymisation does not release the controller from informing data subjects about the recipients of their data.

12 Jun 2025 Department of Social Protection (DSP)DPC: 550,000 EUR against Irish social protection ministry over facial matching without legal basis IrelandData subject rights and transparency €550,000

For registration for the Public Services Card, the ministry created biometric facial templates of a large part of the population without a sufficiently clear legal basis, with deficient information and an incomplete data protection impact assessment. Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) issued a reprimand, imposed 550,000 EUR and ordered the biometric processing to be stopped within nine months if no valid legal basis is found.

What organisations can take from it

Biometric procedures require a precise statutory basis and a complete impact assessment before they are rolled out widely.
