Full Legal Summary
Detailed

The Czech DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 2,000 on a legal person. The accused circumvented the law when, instead of providing social services with proper authorization, it did so without it in the context of providing accommodation and health-care services. Consequently, it lacked sufficient legal basis to process personal data.
