The Dutch DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 25,000 on the Municipality of Delft. The controller, one of ten municipalities that were fined, processed data regarding the Islamic community in its municipality using a force field analysis, for which it employed an external processor. This processing took place at a time of heightened societal concern about Islamic extremism and terrorism. During this period, the Dutch government and the National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism stepped up measures against Salafist and ideological threats to the democratic legal order posed by Islamic radicals. One of these measures was a robust local approach to tackling radicalisation and travel to jihadist conflict areas. Municipalities played a central role in these measures but found that they lacked sufficient insight into Islamic communities. This resulted in some municipalities, including the controller, using an external research agency to collect the necessary data. The agency then used the so-called force field analysis method to map out social structures and key figures. This data processing took place without a sufficient legal basis, particularly as the processing focused on religious and political beliefs, and therefore on special category data.

The Dutch DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 25,000 on the Municipality of Zoetermeer. The controller, one of ten municipalities that were fined, processed data regarding the Islamic community in its municipality using a force field analysis, for which it employed an external processor. This processing took place at a time of heightened societal concern about Islamic extremism and terrorism. During this period, the Dutch government and the National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism stepped up measures against Salafist and ideological threats to the democratic legal order posed by Islamic radicals. One of these measures was a robust local approach to tackling radicalisation and travel to jihadist conflict areas. Municipalities played a central role in these measures but found that they lacked sufficient insight into Islamic communities. This resulted in some municipalities, including the controller, using an external research agency to collect the necessary data. The agency then used the so-called force field analysis method to map out social structures and key figures. This data processing took place without a sufficient legal basis, particularly as the processing focused on religious and political beliefs, and therefore on special category data.

The Romanian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 10,000 on a natural person. The controller operated a website on which identity cards containing personal data, including special category data, possible criminal convictions, data on the intimate lives of data subjects and possible debts, were published. The processing of this data was not based on a sufficient legal basis, and the controller did not ensure that the data was correct, complete or transparent. Furthermore, the controller did not adequately respond to requests by data subjects to delete their data. Furthermore, the DPA found that the controller did not provide the necessary information on its website, nor did it respond to requests from the DPA.

The Polish DPA fined Polskie Radio Szczecin (Polish Radio Szczecin) EUR 13,400. Due to the lack of sufficient technical measures, Polskie Radio Szczecin failed to protect the rights of individuals featured in its publications. As a result, there was a risk that information concerning the private life of individuals would be published without their consent. As an example, the DPA cited a case in which a journalist from Polskie Radio Szczecin disclosed that the minor child of a MP (who does not participate in public life) was a victim of sexual abuse. The report was specific enough to allow third parties to identify the victim, which led to the victim's suicide. During an inspection, the DPA found several shortcomings in data processing and that the deficiencies were systemic. The DPA ordered Polskie Radio Szczecin to rectify the organisational and technical shortcomings within 60 days.

The Italian DPA (Garante) fined Iren Mercato S.p.A. EUR 2,856,169 for failing to verify that all transfers of data of recipients of promotional activities were covered by consent. Several data subjects filed complaints with the DPA against the controller because they had received unsolicited advertising to which they had never consented. In its investigation against the cotroller, the DPA found that the cotroller had in fact processed personal data for telemarketing activities that it had not collected directly but had acquired from other sources. It had not checked whether valid consents had been obtained from the advertising addressees for all transfers of the data. The controller had received lists of personal data from one company, which in turn had acquired them from two other companies. The latter companies had obtained the consent of potential customers for the telemarketing carried out by them and by third parties, but this consent did not include the transfer of customer data to the controller. In this context, the DPA emphasized that consent given by a customer to a company for third-party promotional activities cannot extend its effectiveness to subsequent transfers to other operators.
