The AEPD fined an employer €4,000 for continuously recording workplace audio through CCTV. The measure was disproportionate and violated the data minimisation principle under Article 5(1)(c) GDPR.

English Summary

Facts

On 22 April 2025, a data subject lodged a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Authority (AEPD) against BODENSE ESTRUCTURAS Y CALDELERÍA, S.L., the controller. The data subject claimed that the controller had installed cameras recording both images and audio in workplace areas and had relied on the recordings in disciplinary proceedings against them.

The controller confirmed that its video surveillance system, installed in 2019, consisted of seven cameras and was capable of recording both images and sound. Recordings were stored for seven days and could be accessed by the controller's security manager. The controller stated that the system pursued both security and employee-monitoring purposes.

The controller argued that audio recording was necessary because of a previous burglary and because of the data subject's alleged inappropriate behaviour towards colleagues and management. According to the controller, the audio recordings had been used to substantiate the disciplinary proceedings.


Holding

The DPA found that the continuous recording of workplace audio violated the data minimisation principle under Article 5(1)(c) GDPR. It considered audio recording particularly intrusive because it could capture private conversations and interfere with the workers' private sphere. The existence of information signs did not make such processing proportionate.

The DPA rejected the controller's justification that audio recording was necessary for security and disciplinary purposes. In relation to the employee's conduct, the DPA considered that less intrusive evidence, such as statements from colleagues or supervisors, could have been used. Similarly, the previous burglary did not justify permanent audio recording, since video images alone could have been sufficient to establish the relevant facts. Therefore, the measure was neither necessary nor proportionate to the purposes pursued.

The DPA also referred to Article 89(3) LOPDGDD, under which workplace audio recording is permitted only where risks to the security of installations, assets or persons arising from the activity carried out at the workplace make it necessary, and subject to proportionality and minimum-intervention requirements. The DPA considered that audio recording should be limited to exceptional situations rather than operate permanently.

Consequently, the DPA imposed a €4,000 fine for infringement of Article 5(1)(c) GDPR. In addition, it ordered the controller, within one month after the decision became final and enforceable, to disable the audio functionality of the video-surveillance system, where applicable, and adapt its data protection policy accordingly.

Case No.: EXP202506417

DECISION ON DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS

Regarding the proceedings conducted by the Spanish Data Protection Agency and based
on the following


BACKGROUND

FIRST: On April 22, 2025, a complaint was filed with the
Spanish Data Protection Agency regarding a possible violation attributable to the entity

BODENSE ESTRUCTURAS Y CALDELERÍA, S.L., with Tax ID No. B91843060 (*hereinafter,
BCE).

The facts brought to the attention of this authority are as follows:


The complainant alleges that the respondent company has installed cameras that
record audio and movement in work areas without the consent of the
employees, and that the footage has been used to justify the initiation of a
disciplinary proceeding.


Along with the complaint, the claimant submits a statement of defense in response to a CFR, which was
served on him on ***DATE.1, notifying him of the initiation of a
disciplinary proceeding leading to dismissal.

In the SECOND complaint, the claimant points out that the disciplinary
proceedings are based on a single piece of evidence: the installation of

video surveillance cameras without having provided information or
obtained his consent, thereby violating Article 89.1 of the LOPDGDD.

SECOND: In accordance with Article 65.4 of Organic Law 3/2018, dated December 5,
on data protection and the Guarantee of Digital Rights (hereinafter

hereinafter “LOPDGDD”), said complaint was forwarded to BCE so that
it could analyze it and inform this Agency, within one month, of the
actions taken to comply with the requirements set forth in the
data protection regulations.


The notification of the referral of the complaint, which was carried out in accordance with the rules
established in Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the Common Administrative Procedure
of Public Administrations (hereinafter, LPACAP), was issued on
April 24, 2025, as evidenced by the acknowledgment of receipt on file.

On May 23, 2025, this Agency received a written response indicating that

the party against whom the complaint was filed states that it has a video surveillance system installed
contracted through the enterprise ***ENTERPRISE.1 (a copy of the contract is provided). It was installed on
March 4, 2019, in common areas (hallways, entrance, and management office). It records
both video and audio.


C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es
28001 – Madrid sedeaepd.gob.es 2/10








The system consists of seven cameras; five of them are fixed and located in areas
at risk of intrusion, and the other two cameras—one in the warehouse and the other in an office
facing the street—both record 24 hours a day.


There is no monitor; the images are viewed on the mobile phone of the
security manager via a User name and password. The recordings are
stored for 7 days in encrypted form on a server belonging to the
security enterprise, and only the security manager of the defendant has access to them.


The system’s operating manual, according to the defendant’s complaint, was
communicated to all staff, as it was part of the office’s internal security
procedures.

The respondent states that there are informational signs regarding both video

and audio recording next to the devices, which are accessible to all
affected individuals. It provides photographs of the signs, but due to their size, it cannot be verified
whether they actually also inform of the existence of audio recording and whether
they comply with the requirements of Article 22.4 of the LOPDGDD.

It provides photographs of the devices but does not provide images of the field of view of

the cameras to verify whether, as the respondent claims, there are no cameras in
restrooms, service areas, cafeterias, or employee break rooms.

Regarding audio recording, the respondent asserts that it is necessary
for two reasons: first, due to external risk, as they suffered a burglary in

the year 2023 (they provide a copy of part of the police report); and second, because they had
experienced problems with the complainant—now a former employee of the enterprise—who, for a
time, engaged in abusive behavior, including insults, provocations, and humiliations in front of
his coworkers and enterprise management; the audio was essential to
prove these facts and serve as the basis for the disciplinary proceedings. The

respondent states that the audio recordings have been used solely for the
disciplinary proceedings and have not been disclosed to third parties.

Finally, the respondent indicates that the purpose of processing the images
captured by the cameras is twofold: to ensure safety and to monitor the
employees’ work performance.


The respondent has not provided images of the cameras’ field of view and has not
demonstrated that it informed its employees of the purpose of the processing for
workplace monitoring (as required by Article 89.1 of the LOPDGDD).


THIRD: On July 22, 2025, in accordance with Article 65 of the
LOPDGDD, the complaint was accepted for processing.

FOURTH: On March 21, 2026, the Presidency of the Spanish Data Protection
Data Protection agreed to initiate sanctioning proceedings against the respondent,

for the alleged violation of Article 5.1.c) of the GDPR, as defined in Article 83.5.a)
of the GDPR.

FIFTH: Following notification of the aforementioned decision to initiate proceedings in accordance with the rules established in
Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the Common Administrative Procedure of
Public Administrations (hereinafter, LPACAP), and following the expiration of the period granted

for the submission of arguments, it has been confirmed that no arguments
have been received from the respondent.

       Article 64.2.f) of the LPACAP—a provision of which the respondent
was informed in the decision to initiate the proceedings—establishes that if no
statements are submitted within the prescribed period regarding the content of the decision to initiate proceedings,

and provided that the notice contains a specific determination regarding the liability
attributed, it may be considered a proposed resolution. In the present case, the
decision to initiate disciplinary proceedings set forth the facts on which
the charge was based, the GDPR violation attributed to the respondent, and the penalty
that could be imposed. Therefore, taking into account that the respondent has not

submitted any arguments regarding the decision to initiate proceedings and in accordance with the
provisions of Article 64.2.f) of the LPACAP, the aforementioned decision to initiate proceedings is
considered, in this case, a proposed resolution.

In light of all the proceedings, the Spanish Data Protection Agency
in this proceeding considers the following to be established facts:


 ESTABLISHED FACTS

First. The facts stem from the complaint dated 04/22/25, which
alleges the “installation of cameras that record audio and movement” in the

work areas without the consent of the employees.

Second. BODENSE ESTRUCTURAS
Y CALDELERÍA, S.L., with Tax ID No. B91843060, has been identified as the primary responsible party.


Third. It has been established that devices are present in the workplace that
affect common areas, without a justified cause explained or legally substantiated.

Fourth. The system allows for the recording of <AUDIO>, a fact confirmed
by the defendant itself in a letter dated May 23, 25.


        The signs clearly indicate the recording of video and audio, the
identity of the person responsible, and how to exercise the rights set forth in Article 15 and
subsequent articles of the GDPR.


Fifth. The system’s operational status and the processing of data for
purposes beyond mere workplace monitoring have been substantiated, affecting conversations that
may take place on the premises.

                           LEGAL GROUNDS

 I

 Jurisdiction



In accordance with the powers granted by Article 58(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679
(General Data Protection Regulation, hereinafter GDPR) grants to each
supervisory authority, and in accordance with Articles 47, 48.1, 64.2, and 68.1 of
Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and
the Guarantee of Digital Rights (hereinafter, LOPDGDD), the Presidency of the Spanish Data Protection Agency

has jurisdiction to initiate and resolve this proceeding.


                                          II

Procedure

Likewise, Article 63.2 of the LOPDGDD provides that: “Proceedings
handled by the Spanish Data Protection Agency shall be governed by the provisions
of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, this Organic Law, the

adopted to implement it, and, to the extent they do not contradict them, on a
subsidiary basis, by the general rules on administrative proceedings.”

In accordance with Article 64 of the LOPDGDD, and taking into account the
nature of the alleged violation(s) committed, a

penalty proceeding is initiated. 

The proceedings shall last for a maximum of twelve months from the date
of the decision to initiate proceedings. Upon the expiration of that period, the proceedings shall lapse and,
consequently, the case shall be closed, in accordance with the provisions of

article 64 of the LOPDGDD.

If you do not file any objections to this notice of initiation within the stipulated period, it
may be considered a proposed resolution, as provided for in Article
64.2.f) of Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the Common Administrative Procedure of
Public Administrations (hereinafter, LPACAP).


                                          III
 Preliminary Issues


Article 4.1) of the GDPR defines “personal data” as: “any information relating to an
identified or identifiable natural person (‘the data subject’); an identifiable natural person
shall be any person whose identity can be determined, directly or
indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name,
an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or

several factors specific to that person’s physical, physiological, genetic, mental,
economic, cultural, or social identity.”


C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es
28001 – Madrid sedeaepd.gob.es 5/10








Article 4(2) of the GDPR defines “processing” as: “any operation or set of
operations performed on personal data or sets of personal data, whether
by automated means or not, such as collection, recording, organization,

structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation,
use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making
available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.”

Article 4(7) of the GDPR defines the “controller” or “data controller”
as: “the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which,

alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing; if Union law
Union or of the Member States determines the purposes and means of the processing, the
controller or the specific criteria for its designation may
be established by Union or Member State law.” In turn, Article
4(8) of the GDPR defines the “processor” as the

natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that performs personal data processing on behalf of the controller.

In the present case, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 4(1) and 4(2) of the GDPR,
the processing of personal data has taken place, since the BCE carries out,
among other processing activities, the collection of <AUDIO> through the video

surveillance system.

BCE carries out this activity in its capacity as the controller, given that
it is the entity that determines the purposes and means of such activity, pursuant to Article [4.7 / 4.8]
of the GDPR.

                                           IV

In the present case, we will examine the complaint filed with this
agency—which will be limited to its jurisdiction—regarding the collection of
<AUDIO> from the installed video surveillance system.


       Audio recording in a workplace context constitutes a clear intrusion on
the right to privacy of all affected employees in
a private and confidential sphere (e.g., the recording of conversations).

       The enterprise against which the complaint was filed does not deny the installation of the system, acknowledging in

its initial statements the possibility of audio recording through the system
installed by a specialized security company.

       This is set forth on page 3 of the Response Brief, where the
information is presented as follows:


The signs clearly indicate the recording of video and audio, the
identity of the data controller, and how to exercise the rights under Article 15 and
following of the GDPR.


       The presence of informational signs is considered insufficient for the measure
adopted, which was initially disproportionate to the intended purpose: the protection of the
enterprise and its facilities.


C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es
28001 – Madrid sedeaepd.gob.es 6/10








       It justifies the collection of <AUDIO> to preserve a “dignified,
safe, and violence-free” work environment; however, this would only be justified in an <EXCEPTIONAL>
case, which does not correspond to the attitude of the employee subject to disciplinary proceedings, nor does it justify

a measure that is permanent in nature.

       The Constitutional Court (TC) defines a “disproportionate measure” as
any restriction on fundamental rights that fails to strike a balance between the purposes
pursued and the impact caused, thereby rendering it excessive.


       The (witness) statements
of other coworkers or competent supervisors, which corroborate the described conduct,
would suffice to justify a disciplinary dismissal, without the need for further documentation.

       Nor is the collection of <AUDIO> justified in the case of a single incident of theft on

the premises, since the mere viewing of the footage is considered valid
admissible evidence to substantiate the facts and the alleged perpetrator thereof.

       The foregoing, which is fully substantiated, justifies, in the opinion of this Agency, that the
measure is not proportionate to the intended purpose, as it would have been possible to establish
the conduct of the dismissed employee through a means less harmful to the rights not

not only the employee’s rights but also those of third parties who are affected by the measure imposed without
the minimum legally established safeguards.

       The National Court (AN), in SAN 4102/2025 of September 29, has made the following recital
that a voice recording system is intrusive in nature and requires

greater justification regarding its necessity, appropriateness, and proportionality, since the system
may affect private conversations.

       The aforementioned court relies on the extensive case law of the Constitutional Court
(Constitutional Court), which holds that an employer’s rights to surveillance

and control cannot simply override fundamental rights, much less
because of the existence of an employment contract that purports to include
clauses—allegedly lawful—that legitimize the recording of conversations
reserved for privacy; the principle of minimal intervention must prevail, with
certain very strictly defined guarantees and requirements.


       The facts described above constitute a violation of
Article 5.1(c) of the GDPR, without prejudice to the repercussions of this type of conduct in
other areas of law (e.g., infringement of the right to personal privacy).

Article 5.1(c) of the GDPR provides: Personal data shall be:


 (c) adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes
for which they are processed (“data minimisation”);

       Article 89(2) of the LOPDGDD provides: “Under no circumstances shall the

installation of audio recording or video surveillance systems in places
intended for the rest or recreation of workers or public employees,
such as locker rooms, restrooms, dining rooms, and similar areas.” (*boldface added by the
AEPD).

C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es
28001 – Madrid sedeaepd.gob.es 7/10









       The possibility of obtaining <audio> is limited to exceptional cases and
on a temporary basis (e.g., a flagrant case of harassment, by way of example), and the

collection and storage of private conversations, as these are reserved
for the personal and intimate sphere, separate from work activities.

       This is set forth in Section 3 of Article 89 of the LOPDGDD.


The use of systems similar to those referred to in the preceding sections
for sound recording in the workplace shall be permitted only when
 there are significant risks to the safety of facilities, property, and
persons arising from the activity carried out at the workplace, and
provided that the principles of proportionality and minimal intervention are respected, as well as

 the safeguards provided for in the preceding paragraphs. The deletion of audio recordings
stored by these recording systems shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions
of Article 22, paragraph 3, of this law.



Article 72(1) of the LOPDGDD (Organic Law 3/2018, December 5), regarding the
statute of limitations for very serious violations, states that “they shall be subject to a three-year statute of limitations,” and in
particular the following:

       a) The processing of personal data in violation of the principles and safeguards

 established in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679

 V

Article 83(1) of the GDPR provides:


        “Each supervisory authority shall ensure that the imposition of administrative fines
pursuant to this article for infringements of this
Regulation referred to in paragraphs 4, 5, and 6 is, in each individual case,
effective, proportionate, and dissuasive.”


Article 83(5) of the GDPR provides as follows:

 “Infringements of the following provisions shall be subject, in accordance with
paragraph 2, to administrative fines not exceeding EUR 20,000,000 or,

in the case of an enterprise, an amount not exceeding 4% of the
total worldwide annual turnover in the preceding financial year, whichever is
higher:

 a) The basic principles for processing, including the conditions for

consent pursuant to Articles 5, 6, 7, and 9 (…)”. 

When determining the penalty, the following factors are taken into account:

 - the nature, severity, and duration of the violation, taking into account the
nature, scope, or purpose of the data processing operation in question, as well as

as the number of data subjects affected and the extent of the damages that
C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es
28001 – Madrid sedeaepd.gob.es 8/10








they have suffered (Art. 83.5(a) GDPR); the impact of the measure is taken into account, although
it is not possible to specify the number of individuals affected.


 - whether the infringement was intentional or due to negligence (Article 83.5(b) GDPR), as
it involves a system lacking the necessary safeguards that affects an area reserved for the
privacy of employees, given that it allows for the collection of <AUDIO> (voice, which constitutes
personal data).

       - the categories of data affected by the violation

(Article 83(2)(g)), as the system is equipped with the capability to capture voice (personal data).

 Based on the foregoing, it is deemed appropriate to impose a fine of €4,000,
(four thousand euros) for the violation of Art 5.1(c), for operating a video-

Surveillance system that does not comply with current regulations and encroaches upon an area reserved for
the privacy of employees, which falls within the lowest range for
this type of violation and is commensurate with the severity of the facts presented.

 VI

 Corrective Measures

The text of the decision sets forth the violations committed and

the facts that gave rise to the breach of data protection regulations, from which it is clear what measures must be adopted, without prejudice
to the fact that the specific procedures, mechanisms, or tools for
implement them is up to the sanctioned party, since it is the controller who fully understands its organization and must decide, based on

accountability and a risk-based approach, how to comply with the GDPR and the
LOPDGDD.

This decision sets forth the alleged violation committed and the facts
that could give rise to this possible breach of data protection regulations,
from which it is clear what measures must be taken, without prejudice

that the specific types of procedures, mechanisms, or tools for
implementing them are the responsibility of the party subject to the sanction, since it is the controller who fully understands their organization and must decide, based on
accountability and a risk-based approach, how to comply with the GDPR and the
LOPDGDD.


However, in this case, notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with the
evidence currently available at the time of the agreement to initiate
sanctioning proceedings, the resolution to be adopted may require BCE
to adopt the following measures within a maximum period of 1 MONTH from the date on which the
final decision concluding this proceeding becomes enforceable:


       Uninstall, where applicable, the <AUDIO> mode from the video surveillance system,
notify this agency, and, at the same time, adapt the
data protection policy to the required standard.



C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es
28001 – Madrid sedeaepd.gob.es 9/10








The imposition of this measure or these measures is compatible with the sanction consisting of an
administrative fine, pursuant to the provisions of Art. 83(2) of the GDPR.

Please be advised that failure to comply with any order to adopt measures imposed by
this agency in the decision concluding this enforcement proceeding may be

considered an administrative violation in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR,
classified as a violation under Articles 83.5 and 83.6, and such conduct may lead to the
initiation of further administrative sanction proceedings.

Therefore, in accordance with applicable law and after evaluating the criteria for
determining the severity of the sanctions, the existence of which has been established,

the Presidency of the Spanish Data Protection Agency RESOLVES:
