The Spanish DPA has fined a private individual. The controller had installed a video surveillance system in a multi-party residential building that they own. However, the information sign regarding the video surveillance system lacked information about the controller and the exercise of data subjects' rights. The original fine of EUR 150 was reduced to EUR 120 due to voluntary payment.
