Violation Summary
The sports association published personal data related to judges who had received judicial licenses online. Moreover, the exact addresses and PESEL numbers of these judges became public. As the sports association acted outside the law, fines were in order. However, there were mitigating circumstances in that the sports association immediately noticed its mistakes and attempted to remove the data from the public domain. Still, these attempts were ineffective, and a penalty was issued. The 585 judges had suffered no damage because of this, so the penalty was adjusted by the president of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection.
