PRESS RELEASE

35.3 Million Euro Fine for Data Protection Violations in H&M's Service Center

In a case concerningthe  monitoring  of  several  hundred  employees  of  the  H&M ServiceCenterin Nuremberg  by itsmanagement,  the  Hamburg  Commissioner  for  Data  Protection  and  Freedom  of Information  (HmbBfDI)  has issued  a  fine  of  35,258,707.95  Euros  against  H&M  Hennes  &  Mauritz Online Shop A.B. & Co KG. The company is registered in Hamburg and operates a service center in Nuremberg.Since at least 2014, parts of the workforce have been subject to extensive recording of details about their private lives. Corresponding  notes were permanently  stored  on  a  network  drive.  After absences  such  as vacations and sick leave -even short absences -the supervising team leaders conducted so-called Welcome Back Talks with their employees.

Afterthese talks,in many cases not only the employees' concrete  vacation  experiences  were  recorded,  but  also symptoms  of  illnessand  diagnoses.  In addition, some supervisors  acquired  a  broad  knowledge  of  their  employees'  private  lives  through personal and floor talks, ranging from rather harmless details to family issues and religious beliefs. Some of this knowledge was recorded, digitally stored and partly readable by up to 50 other managers throughout  the  company. 

The  recordings  were sometimes made  with  a  high  level  of  detail  and recorded over greater periods of time documenting the development of these issues. In addition to a meticulous evaluation of individual work performance,the data collected in this way was used, among other  things,  to  obtain  a  detailed  profile  of  employees  for  measures  and  decisions regarding their employment.

The combination ofcollecting details abouttheir private lives andthe recording of theiractivities led to a particularly intensive encroachmentonemployees’ civil rights.Thisdata collection was made known by the fact that the data becameaccessible company-wide for several hours in October 2019 due to a configuration error.

After the Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information was informed about the data collection through press reports, he first ordered the contents of the network drive to be "frozen" and then demanded it to be handed over.  The  company  compliedand  submitted  a data  record  of  around  60  giga bytes for  evaluation. Interrogations of numerous witnesses confirmed the documented practicesafter analyzing the data.

The  discovery  of  the serious violations  has prompted those responsible  to  take  various corrective measures. The HmbBfDI was presented with a comprehensive concept how data protection is to be implemented at the Nuremberg site from now on. In order to come to terms with the past events, the company management has not only expressly apologized to those affected, it has also followed the suggestion   to pay the   employees   a considerable compensation.  

This   is   an   unprecedented acknowledgement of corporate responsibility following a data protection incident. Further elements of the newly introduced data protection concept include a newly appointed data protection coordinator, monthly  data  protection  status  updates, increasingly communicated whistleblower  protection  and a consistent concept for dealing with data subjects’ rights of access. Prof. Dr. Johannes Caspar, Hamburg's Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, comments: "This case documents a serious disregard for employee data protection at the H&M site in Nuremberg.

The amount of the fine imposed is therefore adequate and effectiveto deter companiesfromviolating the privacy of their employees.

Management's efforts to compensate those affected on site and to restore confidence in the company as an employer have to be seen expressly positively. The transparent information provided by those responsible  and  the  guarantee  of  financial  compensation certainly  show  the intention to  give the employees the  respect  and  appreciation they  deserve  as  dependent workers in their  daily  work for their company.”
