The Spanish DPA warned a Spanish city council for infringing Article 30 GDPR by not maintaining a record of its processing activities, and Article 31 of the Spanish Data Protection Act by not making a record of its processing activities available by electronic means.
English Summary
Facts
This decision is a consequence of a complaint submitted by a citizen stating that they requested via email the defendant’s Data Protection Officer access to the record of processing activities, but the controller never replied to the request. Four months after the request the claimant brought the dispute to the Spanish Data Protection Authority (AEPD). The AEPD found that the Council did not have a record of processing activities, what was confirmed by the controller.
Dispute
The controller answered to the AEPD's investigation requests confirming that it had not implemented a record of processing activities, due to political issues and the pandemic situation.
With regards to the lack of answer to the data subject, the controller stated that the request was not addressed by the means required by the Spanish Administrative Law.
The AEPD launched a sanctioning procedure, remaking that the GDPR entered into force in 2016 and is fully applicable since 2018, so the controller had had enough time to adapt to it.
Holding
In the allegations process, the controller argued that it had started implementing the record of processing activities during the duration of this procedure and was compliant with Article 30 GDPR and Article 31 of the Spanish Data Protection Act.
The DPA concluded that there had been no record of processing activities, and that consequently the controller had infringed Article 30 GDPR and Article 31 of the Spanish Data Protection Act. Since the City Council is a public body, the AEPD imposed a warning on the controller, and compelled it to comply with the GDPR.

In addition, in the case of the subjects listed in article 77.1 of the LOPDGDD, which includes the entities that make up the Administration Local, like the one claimed, is also obliged to make said record public and accessible by electronic means. In this case, the documentation in the file certifies that the claimed violated article 30 of the RGPD, "Registration of treatment activities", by not have prepared and published this registry until June 2021. As recorded in the brief of allegations to the proposal and in the attached documentation, the "Inventory of the registry of personal data processing activities" of the GIJÓN CITY COUNCIL was approved by Resolution of the Mayor's Office and 06/16/2021. The defendant himself, prior to the aforementioned hearing procedure, had recognized that it is the responsibility of the data controller to provide the interested party with access to the RAT; and that, where appropriate, said record was in the process of validation, without date on which he formulates his allegations at the opening of the procedure, the works related to said registry have reached the publication phase. And raised these initial allegations at the opening in accordance with this fact, noting that This was due to delays derived from the beginning of a new mandate of the municipal corporation in mid-2019, of its consequent readjustments competences and the difficulties caused by the current socio-sanitary crisis. According to the claimed entity, the configuration of the Municipal Government team to mid-2019, motivated by local elections, led to a series of changes in the municipal internal organization. Through the Governing Board Agreement Local, of 07/28/2020, the current job list was approved, eliminating the Planning and Modernization Service and creating the Service of Strategy and Coordination of Resources, who is attributed, among others, the assistance, technical and material support to the Data Protection Delegate for the performance of their duties. On the other hand, the defendant pointed out that he has seen how in recent years by C / Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es 28001 - Madrid sedeagpd.gob.es 7/11 certain circumstances have imposed a series of limitations and difficulties in the optimal performance of services, which has been joined by the current crisis health care derived from COVI-19, which has caused delays in some processes ongoing, based on more urgent and urgent needs. The complainant explained that on 03/15/2019 he approved the "Roadmap" for adaptation to the new LOPDGDD, among whose measures was the preparation of the registry of treatment activities, and expressly stated that he was not in conditions to make it accessible to citizens through publication. He also reported that security and data protection policies were being promoted through the tendering of a contract to try to provide solutions for management derived from perimeter security, correlation of security events, training in security measures, adaptation to the National Security Scheme (ENS) and the RGPD, currently in process. Finally, I point out that "immaturity" current record of treatment activities prevented its publication. Ultimately, the defendant, in his responses to this body, attached evidence that would show the existence of the preparatory work for the elaboration of the indicated registration, although such work had not been completed at the time the present procedure, so that said Registry had not been prepared at that time. date, nor at the moment in which the allegations are presented at the opening. It was expressly admitted that it was not in a position to make the registration of treatment activities for citizens through publication. These circumstances are referred to in the Second Proven Fact, which is of the information provided by the claimed entity itself. They do not understand each other, in Consequently, the allegations in the motion for a resolution question the expressed in this proven fact. Regarding the circumstances alleged to justify this delay in adapting to the RGPD, the proposed resolution warned the defendant that said Regulation is It has been in force since 05/24/2016 and fully applicable since 05/25/2018. Therefore, the obligation to prepare the record of treatment activities is very prior to the constitution of the new municipal corporation and the outbreak of the pandemic. If the aforementioned City Council claimed, to overcome the alleged limitations, recently started the procedures for the bidding of a contract that aims to development of the necessary tasks to fulfill that adaptation to the RGPD, either he could have formalized such a contract years before. On the other hand, in its brief of allegations to the proposed resolution, the entity complained considers that the lack of publicity of the record of activities of treatment does not imply a breach, taking into account that this record is configured in Recital 82 of the RGPD only as an instrument "(82) To demonstrate compliance with these Regulations, the controller or the processor must keep records of processing activities under its responsibility". This instrumental nature of the record of treatment activities is true, but so is the obligation to maintain it.
