Anonymised respondent (a company)
No breach of the dpa has been established and the enquiry is thus closed. DPO, 25 February 2020.
The facts
An ex-employee alleged that the company's IT officer searched the laptop that had been assigned to him and accessed his confidential and personal information. The company responded that the laptop was its own asset, provided solely for the performance of official duties, and that only business-related information should have been stored on it. The complainant did not reply to the office's request for his views and concrete evidence.
Orders and outcome
The Data Protection Commissioner held that, in view of the company's policy and the absence of any follow-up from the complainant, no breach of the Act had been established, and closed the enquiry.
