A company violated several of the GDPR provisions, which led the Belgian DPA to issue a fine of EUR 50,000 to it. The company is responsible for carrying out parking ticket controls, and it fined a data subject for illegal parking. Though, the data subject claims that he/she did not receive any notification of the fine ticket. What happened was that the data subject received an official reminder letter from a debt collecting firm, where he/she was required to pay the original fine and the reminder fee. After receiving this request, the data subject contacted the responsible party and asked for information on the personal data processed as part of the official reminder. The company failed to provide any information regarding this, which led the data subject to file a complaint against it. The DPA discovered that the responsible party did not provide a clear-cut privacy policy, namely it had no information regarding the processing of personal data, or any contact information of the company. Then, the DPA found that the company failed to comply with the data subject’s right to information by refusing his/her request for information concerning the data processing. Last but not least, the responsible party failed to comply with the principle of data minimization by proceeding to process the data subject’s data to send the payment reminder just a day after the issuance of the ticket, even though the data subject could have paid the fine without the need for a reminder to be sent.
