20 Dec 2024 Profisportorganisation, Spanien (anonymisiert)AEPD: EUR 1 million fine on a sports organisation over biometric access control without a valid DPIA €1m
A Spanish professional sports organisation required its members to control access to certain spectator areas biometrically without first carrying out a valid data protection impact assessment. The Spanish data protection authority AEPD imposed a fine of EUR 1 million for breaching Art. 35 GDPR and ordered the biometric processing to be suspended until a proper impact assessment is in place.
Anyone imposing biometric systems on others is itself a controller and must assess necessity and risks beforehand.
