GDPR Articles Cited
The Hellenic DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 1,000 on Εγνατία Οδός Α.Ε. The company operated a video surveillance system to monitor the payment of tolls. A car owner, who had received a fine for non-payment of the toll, exercised his right to information granted by the GDPR. He requested the photographic material which had been captured in the context of the fine. He also requested to receive a copy of the documentation of the incident. However, the company refused to provide the information to the data subject. Only after the DPA intervened did the company provide the information, but without enclosing the photographic material. For this reason, the DPA found a violation of Art. 12 (3) GDPR.
