2 Apr 2025 Malta: 20,000 EUR against healthcare provider over electoral register data and missing DPO MaltaData subject rights and transparency €20,000

Despite being asked to do so, a healthcare provider (name redacted) did not correct a patient’s address, so that health reports were sent to third parties, and used address data from the electoral register without a legal basis. The Information and Data Protection Commissioner (IDPC) issued a reprimand, ordered rectification, erasure of the register data and the designation of a data protection officer, and imposed fines of 12,500, 5,000 and 2,500 EUR.

What organisations can take from it

Anyone processing health data on a large scale needs a data protection officer – and a reported incorrect address must be corrected immediately.
