Datatilsynet received a complaint stating that JobTeam A/S had deleted personal data covered by a registrar's request for access during the period after the request was made and before the company responded. Is the deletion of personal data that is subject to an access request before the response of the request lawful? Datatilsynet hold that JobTeam unlawfully foreclosed the citizen's ability to verify whether he or she had the right to gain access to the information with Datatilsynet and a court. Therefore, JobTeam A / S has been reported to the police and fined DKK 50,000.
