Norway: Datatilsynet fines Miljø- og Kvalitetsledelse NOK 35,000 for unlawful disclosure of personal data
The Norwegian data protection authority ('Datatilsynet') announced, on 9 April 2021, that it had issued a fine of NOK 35,000 (approx. €3,460) to Miljø- og Kvalitetsledelse AS for unlawfully disclosing camera surveillance recordings. In particular, the Datatilsynet highlighted that the disclosure of information to the suspect's employer lacked legal basis under the Law on the Processing of Personal Data (Personal Data Act) of 15 June 2018 ('the Act') and was unnecessary given that the police were already in possession of the recordings.
The Datatilsynet noted that the disclosure occurred before the Act came into effect, therefore the penalty was issued in accordance with the preceding legislation.
