El Corte Inglés department store in Málaga has been fined for recording people walking past its building in the street

El Corte Inglés department store in Málaga has been fined for recording people walking past its building in the street, and by nearby parked cars. Expansión newspaper says the images, by which it is easy to identify the passing people, were generally kept for seven days.

On appeal, the National Court has ratified an earlier fine issued for more than 60,000 € imposed on the company by the Spanish Data Protection Agency, considering damage had been done to those walking by. The court considered the company knew the restrictions on recording people in the street, but did nothing to stop doing so.

The case was brought before the Data Protection Agency by member of the public.
