It's the first such compensation decree by an Irish court for infringement of personal data rights.
A FACTORY SUPERVISOR, who claimed he had been mocked by colleagues after his employer used CCTV images of him in a training video, has been awarded compensation for non-material damage of upset and embarrassment.
Kaminski told the Circuit Civil Court that after he had been recognized on the instruction video he had been approached by a number of employees informing him that that he had been captured on CCTV “doing something he should not have been doing.” His proceedings had been brought under the Data Protection Act 2018 alleging a breach of the provisions of the Act or the General Data Protection Regulation and seeking compensation for non-material damage.
He said it was accepted by both parties that Kaminski was identifiable and the court was satisfied there was an infringement of his rights under the GDPR; there was non-material damage arising from that and there was a causal link between the damage and the infringement. Judge O’Connor said the CCTV had been stored on a communal work computer, without password protection, and although creating a serious risk was not accessed by unauthorized persons.
