Summary

The Italian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 1,000 on Cocontest Italy S.r.l. A data subject who had used an online contest platform complained to the Garante about receiving promotional emails and text messages, as well as about non-compliance with an access request. The authority found that the emails and text messages had been legally sent, but found that the privacy policy on the controller's website was inadequate as it was in English and did not provide the necessary information on the processing of personal data.
