According to the data protection controller, the company collected data on the personal lives of several hundred employees who work at the H&M service center in Nuremberg.
According to the Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, from 2014 the management of the H&M Nuremberg Center collected “detailed data on the personal lives of employees”, including medical diagnoses, family problems and religious beliefs.
Details of employees’ personal lives were often recorded and stored in a system where they could be read by “up to 50 other company executives.”
H&M, for its part, said the incident revealed practices that “did not comply with H&M guidelines and instructions.”
The company apologized to the staff and said it would evaluate the decision of the data protection controllers.
