300 Euro fine against POSADA DEL LEÓN DE ORO
Video surveillance with audio recording at workplace without justification.

The Spanish data protection authority imposed a fine on a hostel following an employee complaint about video surveillance with audio recording in the workplace. The original fine of EUR 750 was reduced to EUR 300 due to an admission of guilt and timely payment. The installation of a camera with audio recording in the reception area violated the principle of data minimization, as the audio recording was not necessary for security purposes.
