3 Sep 2026 ASIS – Azienda Speciale per la gestione degli Impianti Sportivi (Trento)Garante: 8,000 EUR for cameras in swimming pool changing rooms of a Trentino sports operator ItalyVideo surveillance €8,000

Since 2007, the municipal sports facilities operator had had cameras in the changing rooms of a swimming pool that recorded the locker area. The Italian data protection authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) found no sound legal basis, incomplete notices and a 72-hour retention period not justified by a necessity assessment, and imposed 8,000 EUR (Provvedimento No. 619); the cameras were removed during the proceedings.

What organisations can take from it

Changing rooms and comparably intimate areas are off limits for video surveillance – even when theft prevention is the motive.

23 Oct 2025 Comune di CurtaroloMunicipality of Curtarolo: 15,000 EUR for video surveillance of streets and employees ItalyVideo surveillance €15,000

The municipality in the province of Padua monitored public streets and work areas without a sound legal basis, without adequate information and without a data protection impact assessment; recordings were used for disciplinary purposes, and an employee was secretly filmed while on sick leave. Italy's data protection authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) imposed a fine of 15,000 EUR (5,000 EUR for public surveillance, 10,000 EUR for workplace surveillance).

What organisations can take from it

Do not repurpose video recordings for disciplinary proceedings; specific employment law protections apply to employees.
