FINALDescription
The Spanish DPA (AEPD) imposed a fine of EUR 50,000 on Alterna Operador Integral S.L.. A switch of the electricity supplier had taken place without the consent of the data subject. However, the personal data of the data subject were incorporated into the information systems of the controller (the new electricity supplier) without the controller having verified that a valid contract had been concluded. The processing of the data subjects' personal data thus took place without a legal basis.
