3 years since rolling out in May 2018, there have been 661 GDPR fines issued by European data protection authorities.

Spain issued the largest number of GDPR fines by far - totaling 222 fines during the last 3 years since the GDPR is in effect.

The number of fines issued by other countries drops sharply, with most other countries not issuing more than 10 fines total in the span of 3 years.

The largest GDPR fine in these three years was issued by French authorities in January 2019.

Highest fines issued to private individuals €20,000 issued to a private person in Spain for unlawful video surveillance of employees.
