The DPA fined a controller €20,000 for violating data minimisation obligations by requiring copies of IDs to verify ages upon entry to events. The controller acknowledged its fault and paid a reduced fine of €12,000 in accordance with national law.
English Summary
Facts
On 23 June 2023, a data subject filed a complaint with the Spanish DPA (AEPD) requesting sanctioning proceedings against Mouro Producciones, S.R.L. (the controller). The controller, which hosted concerts and other events, required that parents or guardians provide a copy for their national identity cards (IDs) as well as of the minors’ IDs in order to gain entry.
The AEPD noted that the controller’s policy discussing its processing of minors’ data was out of date, making reference to a national law that had since been replaced. The policy did not specify why copies of IDs were necessary or how the copies would be processed beyond admission to the venue. It also did not state how long the data would be retained by the controller.
In its reply brief, the controller argued that it was necessary to verify the minors’ and their companions’ IDs in order to confirm their ages and to ensure compliance with Law 3/2017 the Espectáculos Públicos y Actividaded Recreativas de Cantabria. The national/regional law limits minors’ ability to enter certain types of venues, including party rooms, discos, and dance rooms, and requires that establishments deny entry to anyone who does not verify their age with documentation. The law makes exceptions where the establishment authorises special sessions for minors or where minors under the age of 16 are accompanied by adults and the activity of the establishment is compatible with protecting minors’ moral and physical integrity.
Holding
The AEPD found that the controller likely violated Articles 5(1)(c) and 13 GDPR and recommended a €20,000 fine.
First, the AEPD considered that the controller failed to meet data minimisation standards pursuant to Article 5(1)(c) GDPR. The AEPD took into consideration Recital 39 GDPR’s instruction that personal data should only be processed if the purpose could not be reasonably achieved by other means. While Law 3/2017 required age verification of minors and their guardians, the controller went a step further by requiring a copy of the IDs. This collection of a complete and unredacted photocopy of IDs resulted in more processing than necessary and thus likely violated Article 5(1)(c) GDPR.
Second, the AEPD found that the controller likely violated Article 13 GPPR. The lack of information concerning the processing or storage period provided in the disclosure policy, as well as its being out of date, indicated that the controller failed to meet its information obligations. The AEPD noted that this resulted in other shortcomings for data subjects’ ability to exercise their rights, as the policy’s lack of sufficient information prevented data subjects from exercising their rights pursuant to Article 17 GDPR.
Given these likely violations, the AEPD resolved to initiate sanction proceedings against the controller and recommended a sanction of €20,000. Pursuant to Law 39/2015, a Spanish law concerning administrative proceedings, the AEPD informed the controller that it may acknowledge its responsibility for the alleged violations and/or pay the proposed fine. Each of these actions reduces the imposed fine by 20%. The controller opted to reduce the fine by 40%, both acknowledging its responsibility for the violations and paying the reduced sanction amount of €12,000.

Unfulfilled obligation
The known facts could constitute an infringement, attributable to Mouro
Productions, regulated in article 5.1.c) of the RGPD and other violation of article 13
of the GDPR.

Article 5.1 c) of the GDPR
Article 5 of the GDPR “Principles relating to processing” refers to the principle of
data minimization in letter c) of section 1 in the following terms:

28001 – Madrid sedeagpd.gob.es 4/15
c) adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which
that are processed (“data minimization”)”.
This article states that personal data will be “adequate,
relevant and limited to the need” for which they were collected, in such a way
that, if the objective pursued can be achieved without excessive treatment of
data, this is how it should be done.
In turn, recital 39 of the GDPR indicates that: “Personal data must only be
processed if the purpose of the processing could not reasonably be achieved by others
media." Therefore, only data that is “adequate,
relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose for which they are obtained or processed.”
The categories of data selected for processing must be the
strictly necessary to achieve the stated objective and the person responsible for the
processing must strictly limit data collection to that information that
is directly related to the specific goal that is intended to be achieved.
In this case, the company requests that the “access to access document” be completed.

allow the entry of minors to concerts managed by it. In addition to
This completed authorization requires the presentation of a photocopy of the ID of the
authorizing parent or guardian who will remain in the possession of the company.
In the written response to the transfer of the claim, the company states that
the reason why the minor's companion is requested to provide a copy of the
DNI, it is because it is necessary to carry out, before authorizing access to the premises, a
correct identification of the person to comply with current regulations.
Article 40 “Protection of childhood and adolescence” of Law 3/2017, of 5

“76 In this regard, it must also be specified, as regards the question of

appropriate measures to adjust its actions to the regulations mentioned in this
act, in accordance with the provisions of the aforementioned article 58.2 d) of the RGPD, according to the
which each control authority may “order the person responsible or in charge of the
treatment that the processing operations comply with the provisions of the
this Regulation, where appropriate, in a certain manner and within a
specified period…” The imposition of this measure is compatible with the sanction
consisting of an administrative fine, as provided in art. 83.2 of the GDPR.
