17 Oct 2023 an Icelandic event hall operatorIceland: event hall operator fined over CCTV surveillance at events €23,891
Persónuvernd (Icelandic Data Protection Authority) fined the operator of an Icelandic event hall 3,500,000 ISK after finding on 7 February 2023 that video surveillance during events held by third parties took place without a legal basis, without a specified legitimate purpose and without adequate information. Weighing heavily was that the cameras also covered rooms where children and young people stayed overnight as well as Covid-19 mass vaccinations, and that the surveillance had affected a very large number of people since at least 2008.
Video surveillance at event venues needs a clearly defined purpose and a legal basis and must not capture sensitive situations such as children staying overnight or healthcare services.
