26 Nov 2024 CMC Certus Management Consultants LtdCyprus: 4,000 EUR against visa service provider CMC Certus – client documents on Scribd CyprusInternational data transfers €4,000

Without informing them, the residence permit consultancy sent a client couple’s marriage certificate and proof of salary to a sister company in Georgia for translation; the documents subsequently appeared publicly on the Scribd platform. The Επίτροπος Προστασίας Δεδομένων Προσωπικού Χαρακτήρα (Commissioner for Personal Data Protection) imposed 2,000 EUR each for an impermissible transfer to a third country and for lack of security measures, as well as a reprimand for insufficient cooperation.

What organisations can take from it

Translation by a group company in a third country is also a data transfer – requiring safeguards, information and confidentiality rules.
