12 Sep 2025 Specer sp. z o.o.Medical company Specer: CEO acting as data protection officer costs 11,365 PLN €2,669
For almost six years, the chair of the management board of the medical company was also its data protection officer; this came to light after a report that a patient had been handed documents relating to another person. Poland’s data protection authority (UODO) found a conflict of interest and imposed 11,365 PLN.
This also applies in small practices and companies: management cannot be its own data protection officer.
