The President of the Office for Personal Data Protection Mirosław Wróblewski imposed on Jarosław Szymczyk, a former police commander, a penalty for disclosing the data of Mrs. Joanna from Krakow. A police intervention was taken to the woman after she had an abortion and contacted her psychiatry for fear of her bad mental state.
By the decision of the head of Uodo Szymczyk, it is to pay 75 thousand. gold penalties. As the office assessed, the former commandant violated the provisions of the GDPR.
“The President of UODO states that this violation of the provisions of the GDPR is of a serious nature. There was a public disclosure without the legal basis of the personal data of the person whose police were to provide. The Chief Police Commander, as a public authority, competent in matters of protection of human security and maintaining public security and order, standing at the head of the formation intended for the implementation of these tasks, is an entity that should especially take care of the good of their data and the security of their data personal ” – we read in the UODO message.

Revealed data and recording with 112
Let us remind you that the case of Mrs. Joanna from Krakow began in July 2023, when the woman was hospitalized. She told her in the media about how the police treated her during this situation. She didn't hide her face.
After the publication, the then Chief Police Commander Jarosław Szymczyk convened a press conference.
“In explaining the actions of subordinates, he also revealed information on the health of a woman and other data about her, and had no grounds for it. The commandant revealed it in a specific context – when the public knew her data and the case. The information he provided could therefore be associated with a specific person. He provided the data previously undeveloped by this person, such as information about psychiatric treatment, which violates the processing of health data, specified in Article 9, specified in Article 9 para.
At the conference, a psychiatry doctor's conversation was made public, with whom Joanna, who was in crisis, contacted with the operator of the number 112. The doctor revealed in her that Mrs. Joanna had an abortion, and that she is afraid that the patient could hurt the rock. “The police cannot cover themselves in this matter by provisions that exclude the GDPR and allow you to process personal data to 'recognize, prevent, detect and combat prohibited acts
Police in the office
The situation in which Mrs. Joanna found herself became loud due to the material of Renata Kiev in TVN's “Facts”.
The doctor notified the police who “escorted” the ambulance to the hospital taking Mrs. Joanna to the hospital, and then was to participate in research and carry out activities with a woman in the office. In the hospital, the police surrounded Mrs. Joanna Kordon, and policewomen entered the gynecological office with her. At the behest of the officers, Joanna was to undress, squat and cough.
The then police commander said that the main reason for the police was a notification regarding suspected suicide attempt. Some The Ombudsman for the Patient Rights Ombudsman considered unacceptable.
Mrs. Joanna feels a victim of police officers' actions, which is why she decided to bring a trial in which she demands PLN 100,000 for compensation – in her opinion – detention. The Krakow court will bend over the entire intervention towards a woman.
