Court Decision on Data Breach Involving Omonia and APOEL
May 13, 2026
The court confirmed that there was a violation of personal data by the clubs Omonia and APOEL, as well as by the responsible company. However, the fine imposed on them was canceled due to the failure to adhere to the principle of proportionality. The issue arose from a security breach on the electronic platform that allowed users to view sensitive fan information. The parties involved acknowledged the violation and accepted their responsibilities. The court ruled that the company had the same obligations as the data controllers.
