GDPR 2026: Firmă românească amendată pentru pontaje - StartupCafe

The National Authority for the Supervision of Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP) fined Tip Top Food Industry SRL €5,000 for illegally using employees' fingerprints for attendance tracking. The investigation was initiated after a complaint regarding the biometric data processing without legal grounds. ANSPDCP found that the company violated GDPR regulations by not having a legal basis for processing biometric data and not minimizing data usage. The authority mandated the company to replace the fingerprint system with a less intrusive alternative. ANSPDCP emphasized the need for careful handling of biometric data to protect individuals' rights and privacy.
