🌍 #Berlin Authority published a case law regarding the #DPO requirements and the risk of conflict of interest due to the dual position of DPO 🔐 Click & attend to our Twitch live of 4PM (CET) to know more ➡️   🔹 In this case the person was simultaneously the managing director of two service companies that processed #personaldata on behalf of the company for which he was acting as also data protection officer. These service companies are also part of the group; they provide customer service and execute orders. 🔹 The investigation found an alleged conflict of interest concerning the DPO's employment status and decision-making responsibilities that violated Article 38(6) of the #GDPR.  🔹 “Companies should avoid any dual and significant roles for the company DPOs in corporate structures for #conflictsofinterest,” says Brozio.  🔹 This applies when there are joint responsibilities between the group companies. (managerial position and being DPO at the same time) 🔹 Relevant detail: the #SupervisoryAuthority initially issued a warning against the company in 2021. After a renewed review this year revealed that the violation continued despite the warning, the fine was imposed.
