The Spanish DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 3,600 on XASTRE DO PETO, S.L. (restaurant). An individual had filed a complaint with the DPA due to the fact that the controller required them to fill out a form with their personal information for contact tracing purposes in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, during its investigation, the DPA found that the legal basis for collecting the contact information had expired in the meantime and that the controller had therefore processed the data unlawfully.
