ENERGYA VM GESTIÓN DE ENERGÍA, S.L.

Beschrijving

The Spanish DPA (AEPD) has fined ENERGYA VM GESTIÓN DE ENERGÍA, S.L. EUR 5 million following an investigation into unlawful personal data processing by Nivalco, a company contracted by Energya VM to make sales calls to customers. During these calls, customers were misled into providing additional personal data to conclude a new energy supply contract. The AEPD determined that Energya VM acted as the 'data controller' for the processing of this personal data, as it provided Nivalco with a sales script, thereby influencing the data processing. However, Energya VM failed to comply with GDPR requirements, particularly by not conducting a risk assessment for Nivalco's data processing activities
