3,578 Euro fine against Bailiff
Bailiff acting as his own data protection officer in a conflict of interest.

The Polish data protection authority (UODO) imposed a total fine of 15,500 PLN on a bailiff. An investigation, initiated following a data breach report, revealed that the bailiff had appointed himself as the Data Protection Officer (DPO). This created a conflict of interest, as he was supposed to monitor his own activities. Additionally, he failed to notify the supervisory authority of the DPO's appointment. The fine comprised 12,000 PLN for the conflict of interest and 3,500 PLN for the failure to notify.
