| Summary | The Hungarian DPA imposed a fine of EUR 253,000 on the supermarket chain Aldi. Aldi had entered and stored the date of birth of many customers in the checkout system when purchasing alcoholic beverages. This procedure was introduced to make the cashiers’ work easier, as the software could quickly calculate whether the person was over 18 or not, but was considered excessive by the DPA. Furthermore, ALDI did not answered any questions about the legal basis for this processing. |
