Poland's data protection authority fined a court bailiff PLN 15,500 for GDPR violations, including serving simultaneously as controller and Data Protection Officer (DPO), violating the DPO independence requirement, and failing to notify the authority of the DPO appointment.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Regtech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must keep DPO roles fully independent and formally notify regulators of appointments; any deliberate shortcuts on this can lead to enforcement fines and regulatory barriers.
