The fundamental role of the regulator is to ensure compliance with the regulations. Regulators must consider a number of factors before deciding whether to issue a fine and the size of that fine. The regulations provide for a very high maximum fine, but that would only be appropriate where the regulations have been intentionally, grievously and repeatedly breached. In the case of an unintentional breach with relatively minor consequences that is swiftly addressed by the controller, a small fine (or no fine at all) would be entirely appropriate. https://gdpr-info.eu/art-83-gdpr/ https://gdpr-info.eu/art-83-gdpr/
