2 Jan 2026 Poczta Polska S.A.Poczta Polska: 978,128 PLN because the data protection officer was not independent PolandData protection €232,208

The function of data protection officer was performed by a manager who was at the same time responsible for security and protection of classified information and thus monitored their own activities; there was no conflict analysis. Poland’s data protection authority (UODO) imposed 978,128 PLN and referred to numerous previous reprimands and orders against the company.

What organisations can take from it

Data protection officers must not be responsible for the processes they monitor – check dual roles for conflicts of interest in advance.
