Finland DPA imposes €72,000 GDPR fine against taxi company

The Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman has imposed an administrative fine against taxi company Taksi Helsinki for data protection violations.

Last summer, the company had replaced its camera surveillance system with one that recorded both audio and video, but failed to assess the legality of the related personal data processing as required by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Additionally, the taxi company also failed to conduct the impact assessments required by GDPR before the start of processing.
