7 Apr 2026 Wspólnota Mieszkaniowa K. (Wohnungseigentümergemeinschaft, im Bescheid pseudonymisiert)Homeowners’ association: 4,852 PLN – misdirected statement not notified PolandIncident reporting obligations €1,135

Acting as processor, the property management company sent an owner’s statement of service charges to an unauthorised person. The association considered notification unnecessary because only ‘ordinary’ data of one member were affected, and maintained this position in the proceedings; the UODO (Poland’s data protection authority) imposed 4,852 PLN.

What organisations can take from it

Small controllers must also assess and notify data breaches by their service providers – ‘only one data subject’ is no ground for exemption.

Relevance to training and awareness

Recognising misdirected mail as a data breach – including at service providers
