Norway: Datatilsynet fines Coop Finnmark NOK 400,000 for unlawful sharing of CCTV footage
The Norwegian data protection authority ('Datatilsynet') announced, on 14 January 2021, its decision to fine Coop Finnmark SA NOK 400,000 (approx. €39,000) for sharing CCTV footage from a store without an appropriate legal basis. In particular, Datatilsynet considered that the sharing of CCTV footage did not fulfil the principle of lawfulness of processing under the Law on the Processing of Personal Data (Personal Data Act) of 15 June 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) ('GDPR'). In addition, Datatilsynet highlighted that after a reported breach in 2019, it had received comments from the entity and has now decided to impose the fine, while noting that the CCTV footage showed images of children.
