27 May 2024 Hvidovre KommuneHvidovre Kommune: 200,000 DKK after disclosing protected addresses of children to parents DenmarkData breaches and data security €26,803

Following a system change, both parents with custody gained access to letters from the municipal dental care service and automatically received letters containing, in some cases, protected addresses of the children – without any check as to whether the disclosure was permissible. The Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet) criticised the lack of change management; the municipality accepted a fine notice of 200,000 DKK.
