The DPA from Luxembourg has imposed a fine of EUR 5,300 on a company.

A few of these cameras covered, among other things, parts of a public street and a private neighboring property. During its investigation, the DPA also found that the cameras covered the employee cafeteria, allowing employees to be monitored outside of their working hours.
