Description

The Spanish DPA (AEPD) has imposed a fine on Vodafone España, S.A.U.. A data subject had filed a complaint with the DPA as the controller had transferred her cell phone line to another person without her consent due to a technical error. In addition, the data subject's account was debited with amounts that belonged to a third party's phone line. The DPA found that Vodafone had unlawfully processed the data subject's data. The original fine of EUR 50,000 was reduced to EUR 40,000 due to voluntary payment.
