Monetary fine; Lack of legal basis for data processing

This fine was imposed on a private person who secretly made a video of a woman while she was using the toilet. This so called "upskirting" was long only a violation of the GDPR and is just recently punishable by court in Austria. The penalty imposed was set in regard to the income situation of the perpetrator, the maximum penalty would have been 20,000,- Euros. Authority: Austrian DPA (Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde "DSB")
