General GDPR enforcement action

This case relates to broader data protection obligations, not specifically to cookie or consent banner compliance. It is not included in cookie statistics or the Risk Calculator.

The Polish DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 358,000 on a company. The company had inadvertently published customer data (first name, last name, email address, home address, encrypted passwords) in the process of redesigning its website. The incident affected approximately 20,000 data subjects. The DPA found that the controller had not sufficiently ensured the security of personal data during the process, for example, by conducting regular tests and risk assessments. Instead, it relied on information provided by the hired subcontractor without proper oversight.
