The Norwegian DPA (Datatilsynet) has imposed a fine of EUR 3,400 on Miljø- og Kvalitetsledelse AS. At one of the carwashes operated by the controller, incidents of vandalism had occurred at the payment terminal. The controller thereupon sent footage of the incident from a surveillance camera to the employer of the alleged vandal. The Norwegian DPA concluded that the sharing of the video footage had taken place without a legal basis and the controller had thus violated Art. 6 (1) GDPR and Art. 5 (1) a) GDPR. Furthermore, the DPA emphasizes that the disclosure of the recordings was not necessary to clarify the incident, as the recordings had already been provided to the police.
