The Slovenian DPA fined a perpetrator €320 for examining and taking photos of data subjects’ identity cards without any legal basis.
English Summary
Facts
An individual has examined and with his mobile phone taken photos of identity cards of eight other individuals in and before a primary health care centre and a kiosk.
Holding
The DPA held that the perpetrator had no legal basis to examine the holders’ identity cards nor take photos of them since he was not authorized to determine their identity and citizenship. By examining and taking photos of eight different individuals, he has violated Article 4(4) of the Slovenian Identity Card Act (Zakon o osebni izkaznici - ZOIzk-1) on eight occasions.
The DPA fined the perpetrator €320.
Comment
Identity cards may be examined and copied solely in statutory cases, such as by the police, notaries and financial companies providing financial services, as well as on the basis of the written consent of the holder thereof for a predetermined purpose.
