| Summary | The Italian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 150,000 on Tarento municipality. The company Amiu S.p.A had operated the local waste collection service on behalf of the municipality. The company had installed several video surveillance cameras with the permission of the municipality to monitor illegal waste disposal. The DPA found that Amiu had posted some images from the cameras on Facebook, showing individuals sufficiently visible making it possible to identify them. During its investigation, the DPA also found that the municipality had not properly regulated the processing with Amiu S.p.A. In addition, the DPA found that the municipality had not provided sufficient information about the video surveillance cameras. The municipality also failed to conduct a data protection impact assessment regarding the installation of the cameras, which would have been necessary for such a large-scale systematic surveillance. |
