Our aim is to keep this list as up-to-date as possible. Since not all fines are made public, this list can of course never be complete, which is why we appreciate any indication of further GDPR fines and penalties. Please note that we do not list any fines imposed under national / non-European laws (with the exception of fines under the UK GDPR), under non-data protection laws (e.g. competition laws / electronic communication laws) and under "old" pre-GDPR-laws. We have, however, included a limited number of essential ePrivacy fines under national member state laws. New features: "ETid" and "Direct URL"! We have assigned a unique and permanent ID to each fine in our database, which makes it possible to precisely address fines, e.g. in publications. Once an "ETid" has been assigned to a fine, it remains the same, even if the fine is overturned or amended by courts at a later date, or if we add fines that were issued chronologically before. The "Direct URL" (click "+" or on a specific ETid to view details of a fine) can be used to share fines online, e.g. on Twitter or other media.

What a year for GDPR enforcement: 2021/2022 saw various landmarkcases including: a new record fine of EUR 743 million; the totalamount of all fines since May 2018 exceeding the EUR 1 billion markin summer 2021; and the total number of cases passing 1,000 inearly 2022. Landmark cases were widely reported, obviously drawinga lot of public attention and increasing overall awareness for dataprotection law. However, there is a GDPR enforcement reality beyondrecord fines and it may be worth taking a closer look: focussingsolely on severe fines could lead to fear and even reluctance orignorance on compliance issues.We still believe that facts are better than fear.Our continuously updated list of publicly known GDPR fines inthe GDPR Enforcement Tracker is our 24/7 remedyagainst fear: in contrast, the annual GDPR Enforcement TrackerReport ("ET Report") is our deep dive approach andpermits greater insight into the world of GDPR fines.We are pleased that our analysis for this third edition of theET Report is based on a larger overall data set with more than1,031 cases.Numbers & Figures and Enforcement Insights per BusinessSectorThe third edition again kicks off with the statistical analysisof the existing

Wehave also analysed the DPAs' reasoning for the fines. Theseaspects together allow us to provide you with key takeaways foreach business sector. Apart from the lawfulness of each dataprocessing operation, bolstering data security should remain in thespotlight for every organisation. There are already relevantindications for data protection litigation - in particular, datasubjects' claims for material or immaterial damages accordingto Art. 82 GDPR are on the rise. This trend is unlikely to stop, inparticular supported by collective redress mechanisms and legaltech offerings already now increasing the risks of, and resourcesneeded for, data protection claims management.Local law and practice matter - Enforcement Insights percountryAfter four years of applying GDPR, we are not the only ones tohave learned that, despite the GDPR "full harmonisation"approach, there is virtually no other area that has been shapedmore by national laws and official practice than that of GDPRfines. This may be the reason why Spain tops the list of countrieswith the most fines again this year. Whereas an extended indepth-analysis of the reasons for local deviations would exceed ourcapacities, we have asked fellow privacy professional in variousjurisdictions to provide some background information on the localdata protection enforcement landscape (Editor's note: theUnited Kingdom remains in the ET Report and the Enforcement Trackeras the UK General Data Protection Regulation ensures, at least fornow, regulatory consistency regardless of Brexit). An"Enforcement Insights per country" section will be addedto the ET Report by the end of June - so stay tuned to learn

What is GDPR?Simply, GDPR looks to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the EU and it also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU.Businesses will be required to get consent from individuals to hold and use their personally identifiable information (PII), notify customers about data breaches and any transfer of their data.The GDPR was approved by the EU Parliament last year with the ‘enforcement date’ being May 25th, 2018 – at which time those organisations in non-compliance will face heavy fines.The penalties being mentioned for non-compliance are extreme; if businesses don’t comply, they face being smashed with fines of up to four percent of annual turnover. Many smaller businesses would struggle to take a hit like that.You can see further information here: What do I need to do to make my list compliant with GDPR?In relation to GroupMail and
