Beschrijving

The Spanish DPA (AEPD) imposed a fine on Vodafone España, S.A.U. due to insufficient legal basis for data processing. The data subject stated that, unauthorized third parties had gained access to her Vodafone account and had concluded a new contract in their name, as well as purchased an iPhone 12. The DPA notes that the controller had not adequately verified whether the contracts had been lawfully and actually concluded by the data subject. The original fine of EUR 70,000 was reduced to EUR 56,000 due to voluntary payment.
