19 Feb 2026 Restaurant Partner Polska sp. z o.o. (Betreiberin der Plattform Glovo)Glovo Poland: 5.9 million PLN for copies of identity documents without legal basis €1.4m
Since 2019, the delivery platform had required scans or photos of its users’ identity cards and passports in cases of suspected fraud, relying on legitimate interests. The Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych (President of Poland’s data protection authority, UODO) regarded this as processing without a legal basis and a breach of data minimisation, imposed 5,898,064 PLN and ordered the processing to stop and the data to be erased.
Fraud prevention does not justify copies of identity documents – only those authorised by law may capture documents in full.

6 Mar 2025 Polskie Radio – Regionalna Rozgłośnia w Szczecinie „Radio Szczecin” S.A.Polskie Radio Szczecin: 56,824 PLN for lack of data protection review before publication €13,604
Following a report through which a minor victim became identifiable, an inspection found that the broadcaster had no risk analysis for editorial work, no rules for checking personal data before publication and no encryption of mobile storage media. Poland’s data protection authority (UODO) imposed 56,824 PLN; the Warsaw Administrative Court dismissed the action on 18 March 2026.
Newsrooms need a data protection review before publication – the media privilege does not replace technical and organisational measures.
