On 7 December 2023 the Austrian DSB fined an anonymised nonprofit housing company EUR 10,000 in case 2023-0.637.760 (DSB-D550.705). During the investigation of an open-recipient email complaint, the company ignored repeated requests for its observations, including a request sent directly to its DPO after a telephone reminder. The sanction concerns the company’s failure to cooperate under Article 31 GDPR, rather than a second fine for the underlying email disclosure. The DPA assessed responsibility of the legal person; this is not a personal fine against the DPO. A EUR 1,000 procedural contribution is excluded from the fine. RIS states that this monetary decision is legally final.
