While the amount of administrative fine in the GDPR is only a theoretical maximum, fines imposed in specific cases could serve as important practical compass in several respects: on the one hand, the level of fines is indicative itself, and on the other hand, it is also important for data controllers and processors to see which articles of the GDPR are regularly cited in the decisions, what are the most important criteria that are taken into account by the authorities when deciding on the legal consequences (including fines) in a given case.
Below I collect the decisions of the Hungarian Data Protection Authority (NAIH) imposing fines (published in 2020) and I also indicated the articles of the GDPR that were referred to in the decisions by the authority. The below list is regularly updated. (The list of the GDPR fines imposed in 2019 is available here.) (Last updated: 06.02.2021)
