Summary

The Spanish DPA (AEPD) has imposed a fine of EUR 70,000 on VODAFONE ESPAÑA, S.A.U.. A data subject had filed a complaint with the DPA for having received promotional emails from Vodafone without having expressly consented to this and without having had a prior contractual relationship. The data subject then objected to receiving future e-mails. Vodafone confirmed the objection. Nonetheless, the data subject received four advertising e-mails a few months later. The fine consists of EUR 50,000 for a violation of Art. 21 GDPR and EUR 20,000 for a violation of Art. 21 LSSI.
