Denmar Nacrut SRL – €2,500 Fine (Romania, 2022)

Denmar monitored customers and employees with cameras inside and outside its beauty business, including during cosmetic treatments, without sufficient information or a demonstrated overriding legitimate interest for the intrusive treatment-room monitoring. ANSPDCP imposed RON 4,945.10 / EUR 1,000 under Articles 12-13, plus RON 7,417.65 / EUR 1,500 under Articles 5(1)(a), (b) and (c), 5(2), and 6: combined RON 12,362.75 / EUR 2,500. It ordered proper information, removal of the treatment-room camera, suitable image-management safeguards, prohibition of remote internet access, and access only for incidents relevant to the cameras’ purpose. The native overview rounds the combined figure to whole lei. The original assigns EUR 1,000 to transparency and EUR 1,500 to unlawful and excessive surveillance; the secondary summary reverses those component amounts. The original allocation is retained. The instruction to remove the treatment-room camera is distinguished from a blanket assertion that every camera in the business was ordered removed. The official announcement reports investigation completion in 2022-07, without an exact decision day. Its later publication date is retained as a publication fact rather than the action date. Appeal status is not established by the announcement.
