Description

The Spanish DPA has fined a private individual. An individual had filed a complaint with the DPA because another individual had written reviews on the internet using a photo of them and their name without their consent. The original fine of EUR 1,000 was reduced to EUR 600 due to voluntary payment and admission of responsibility.
