Summary

The Italian DPA (Garante) has fined mobile operator TIM S.p.A. EUR 150,000 for denying a data subject access to his phone data needed to defend himself in a criminal case. Since the data subject received no response to his repeated requests to the company, he turned to the DPA to obtain the data in time for the hearing in the criminal proceedings.
