Violation of parent's right to access personal data of minors
The complainant's child was undergoing special education sessions at the fined educational organisation. When he requested to know how many sessions and on what dates his chilld had participated to as well as to receive the invoices for said sessions, the educational organisation denied his request to access on grounds that his ex-wife -who has custody of the child- objected to the data being disclosed. The Authority found this limitation unacceptable since each parent that has the parental control has the right to request access to the child's data and this refusal did not fulfil the requirements of Article 15 par. 4 GDPR. The organisaiton was fined EUR 8.000 and it was instructed to disclose the relevant information without undue delay.
