Summary

The Spanish DPA has imposed a fine on a private individual. The individual unauthorizedly sent e-mails with personal data to several recipients in an open distribution list. This made it possible for the recipients to view the e-mail addresses of all other recipients. The original fine of EUR 1,200 was reduced to EUR 900 due to voluntary payment and admission of responsibility.
