Summary
The Greek DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 30,000 on Vodafone – PANAFON A.E.E.T. The controller failed to handle a data subject's requests to exercise her rights. Specifically, a data subject requested access to call recordings relating to them, but the controller only partially fulfilled this request and did so neither properly nor in a timely manner. The controller also failed to preserve certain call recordings despite a request to do so, which further undermined the data subject’s ability to exercise their rights. Furthermore, the controller provided contradictory information about the procedure for accessing the recordings.
