Summary

The Spanish DPA has imposed a fine on the owner of a pharmacy office. The controller processed data of residents of two geriatric centers without a sufficient legal basis. The controller also failed to inform the data subjects about the fact, that the controller processed their data and that they obtained the data from a third party. Lastly, the controller failed to use encrypted email services. The original fine of EUR 11,000 was reduced to EUR 6,600 due to immediate payment and admission of responsibility by the controller.
