BirdLife fined €250 over data protection breach – hunters

BirdLife Malta was fined a €250 administrative fine by the Data Protection Commissioner, for uploading "personal data" on its website - according to hunters' lobby FKNK.

The hunters' federation said the fine had been imposed because BirdLife ignored a previous warning on the breach back on 22 December 2011.

The allegation concerns personal data of FKNK representatives which BirdLife uploaded, over which the FKNK lodged a report to the data protection commissioner.
