What happened

Pursuant to the Article 60 GDPR cooperation mechanism, the Berlin DPA held that a photographer breached Article 6(1) GDPR for lacking a valid legal basis for the publication of data subject's photos on their website. The GDPR derogation for journalism under German law, which is granted under Article 85(2) GDPR, did not apply as the publication mainly served a commercial purpose.
