FINALDescription
The Spanish DPA has imposed a fine on Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A.. The company had repeatedly sent advertising messages to a data subject, although the data subject had objected to the processing of their data. The original fine of EUR 70,000 was reduced to EUR 42,000 due to voluntary payment and admission of responsibility.
