The Italian Data Protection Authority against ENI: multimillion-dollar fine
Following the emergency measures adopted by the Italian Government as a consequence of the recent spread of the COVID-19 virus (known to most as “coronavirus”) in Italy and the consequent state of agitation among the public, the Italian Data Protection Authority issued a specific statement inviting public and private entities to comply with the procedures put in place by the competent authorities for the prevention and containment of the epidemic, avoiding the implementation of uncoordinated and unhelpful initiatives that could potentially violate the right to confidentiality of the data subjects concerned.
