The Spanish DPA imposed a €3,000 fine on a workers' union for violating Articles 5(1)(f) and 32 GDPR by publishing the personal data of members of the strike committee on social media networks without a valid legal basis.
English Summary
Facts
The data subjects were members of the strike committee in a collective dispute between the company Avanza Zaragoza S.A.U (third party) and its workers. Due to this dispute, the Aragonés Union of Workers of Transport (the controller), published on social networks (Facebook, Twitter) and on its website a document in which the personal data (name, surname and ID) of the data subjects were disclosed. The publication was apparently visible to anyone for at least half an hour. Subsequently, the publication was rectified, as a result of the data subjects' complaint to the controller.
The data subjects also complained to the Spanish DPA about this incident, which started proceedings against the controller. The DPA notified the controller of the complaint electronically and by postal mail but received no response.
Holding
The DPA referred to Article 4(12) GDPR, which broadly defines data breaches as a 'breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.' With this definition in mind, the DPA held that the controller violated the principle of confidentiality (Article 5(1)(f) GDPR) by publishing on social networks the data subjects’ personal data without having a valid legal basis for it.
Furthermore, the DPA stated that the controller also infringed Article 32 GDPR for failing to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the confidentiality of the data and to prevent the publication of the personal data on social media networks. Although Article 32 GDPR does not, as such, establish a list of security measures, it obliges the controller to apply measures that are appropriate to the risk involved.
As a consequence, the DPA imposed a fine of €2,000 for the violation of Article 5(1)(f) GDPR, taking into consideration that the data subjects could be identified by the data and that the publication could be widely shared on the internet. Moreover, the DPA imposed a fine of €1,000 for the violation of Article 32 GDPR.
Comment
It should be noted that, in this decision, the DPA did not discuss Article 6(1) GDPR and the possible lack of legal basis for publishing the personal data of the strike committee members on social media. Instead, the DPA treated the occurence as a confidentiality breach, that is, according to EDPB Guidelines 01/2021, 'unauthorised or accidental disclosure of, or access to, personal data.' Luca Tosoni seems to suggest, security breaches under Article 4(12) GDPR, including breaches of confidentiality, follow from and are directly related to the lack of appropriate technical and organisational measures under Article 32 GDPR.[1] Hence, they are usually not intentional as such.

C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es 28001 – Madrid sedeagpd.gob.es 3/12 In view of all the proceedings, by the Spanish Agency for Data Protection In this proceeding, the following are considered proven facts: PROVEN FACTS FIRST: It is on record that on March 16, 2022, the claimant filed claim before the Spanish Data Protection Agency, since the party claimed revealed information and personal data to third parties, without legal basis legitimizing for this, by publishing on social networks, a document in which the personal data (name, surname and ID) of the committee members appeared of strike. SECOND: There is a copy of the publication, as well as a screen print of a WhatsApp conversation in which it is revealed among the workers the cited publication. FUNDAMENTALS OF LAW Yo In accordance with the powers that article 58.2 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation, hereinafter GDPR), grants each control authority and as established in articles 47, 48.1, 64.2 and 68.1 of the Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights (hereinafter, LOPDGDD), is competent to initiate and resolve this procedure, the Director of the Spanish Agency for Data Protection.

II previous questions In the present case, in accordance with the provisions of article 4.1 of the GDPR, there is the processing of personal data, since the UNION ARAGONES OF TRANSPORT WORKERS, in the exercise of their activity trade union and advice, performs personal data processing in its relationship with the affiliates. It carries out this activity in its capacity as data controller, since it is who determines the purposes and means of such activity, by virtue of article 4.7 of the GDPR: "responsible for the treatment" or "responsible": the natural or legal person, authority public authority, service or other body that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of treatment; if the law of the Union or of the Member States determines determines the purposes and means of the treatment, the person in charge of the treatment or the criteria C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es 28001 – Madrid sedeagpd.gob.es 4/12 Specific reasons for their appointment may be established by the Law of the Union or of the Member states. Article 4 section 12 of the RGPD defines, in a broad way, the "violations of security" security of personal data" (hereinafter security breach) as "all those security violations that cause the destruction, loss or alteration Accidental or illegal transfer of personal data transmitted, stored or processed in otherwise, or unauthorized communication or access to such data.” In the present case, there is a personal data security breach in the circumstances indicated above, categorized as a breach of confidentiality, whenever the claimed party has disclosed information and data of a personal nature to third parties, without legitimizing legal basis for it, when publishing on social networks, a document in which the personal data (name, surname and ID) of the members of the strike committee, with the multiplier effects that the use of the social media may have for your visibility. According to GT29, a "Breach of confidentiality" occurs when there is an unauthorized or accidental disclosure of personal data, or access to it themselves. It should be noted that the identification of a security breach does not imply the impossibility sanction directly by this Agency, since it is necessary to analyze the diligence of managers and managers and security measures applied.

C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es 28001 – Madrid sedeagpd.gob.es 5/12 The documentation in the file offers clear indications that the claimed violated article 5.1 f) of the GDPR, principles relating to treatment. The post exposed by the claimed party in the social networks supposes a treatment automated system that, using the infrastructure of said networks, discloses some facts and data that allow the claimants to be identified through the exposed information, and said infrastructure is also a medium in which They can multiply their effects by sharing the news with other users.

Based on what is established in article 83.5 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, are considered very serious and will prescribe after three years the infractions that a substantial violation of the articles mentioned therein and, in particular, the following: a) The processing of personal data in violation of the principles and guarantees established in article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. (…)” V GDPR Article 32 Article 32 of the GDPR, security of treatment, establishes the following: C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es 28001 – Madrid sedeagpd.gob.es 6/12 "one. Taking into account the state of the art, the application costs, and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing, as well as risks of variable probability and severity for the rights and freedoms of individuals physical, the person in charge and the person in charge of the treatment will apply technical and appropriate organizational measures to guarantee a level of security appropriate to the risk, which may include, among others: a) the pseudonymization and encryption of personal data; b) the ability to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability and permanent resilience of treatment systems and services; c) the ability to restore availability and access to data quickly in the event of a physical or technical incident; d) a process of regular verification, evaluation and assessment of effectiveness technical and organizational measures to guarantee the safety of the treatment. 2.

In this sense, recital 83 of the GDPR states that: "(83) In order to maintain security and prevent processing from infringing what provided in this Regulation, the person in charge or in charge must evaluate the risks inherent to the treatment and apply measures to mitigate them, such as the encryption.
