Sažetak
Since 2018, the number of GDPR fines keeps steadily growing. Their severity has mostly increased, fines from 2021 against “Big Tech” being overshadowed by 2022 fines. Top violations are insufficient legal basis for data processing, non-compliance with general data processing principles and insufficient technical and organizational measures to ensure information security. The most active in the activity of issuing fines is Spain, but its DPA is not too harsh with the amount. Italian DPA, on the other hand is both active, being bested only by Spain, but with a significant lead on the sum gathered. Special case is Luxembourg DPA with a single fine, that since it has been issued, stands as the highest fine ever at 746 00 000 € but with a very low number of other fines. Ireland DPA has issued over 850 000 000 € worth of fines to “Big Tech”, which is especially interesting considering that a lot of tech companies choose Ireland to be their European headquarters because of, among other reasons, its low corporate tax . France’s DPA has also joined that fight, their main culprits being Facebook and Google. “Media, Telecoms and Broadcasting” is the sector that suffered the most by fines, which isn’t shocking seeing as the aforementioned fines against tech companies belong to this sector. The nature of this sector potentially allows for the most profitable breaking of GDPR, since it involves easy acquiring and selling data to marketers. “Industry and Commerce” follows, with most fines but whose amount is mostly so high because of the aforementioned 746 000 000 € fine by the Luxembourg DPA.
