Full Legal Summary
Detailed

The DPA conducted the investigation after being notified that on the website in question, some personal data of the website's customers were visible. If customers placed an order on the website, some of their personal data could be accessed without authorisation. Did the website operator, in its role as data controller, take sufficient technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data of its customers? Furthermore, did the controller act in breach of the storage limitation principle? The ANSPDCP held that the controller failed to take appropriate measures and breached the storage limitation principle enshrined in Article 5(1)(e) GDPR, and also failed to fulfill its obligation under Articles 25 and 32 GDPR. Consequently, the DPA issued a €3000 fine and recommended the website operator to establish a shorter storage period for the personal data associated with the accounts of its customers.
