Summary

The Spanish DPA has imposed a fine on FUNDACIÓ PRIVADA UNIVERSITARIA EADA. An individual who had participated in a training event filed a complaint against the educational institution.

The original fine of EUR 2,000 was reduced to EUR 1,200 due to voluntary payment and admission of responsibility.
