Associazione Rescue Drones Network ODV

Description

The Italian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 3,000 on Associazione Rescue Drones Network ODV. A founding member of the association had filed a complaint with the DPA. The member learned of disciplinary actions against them, consequently they intended to use documents from their email account for their defense. However, the controller had blocked access to their email account, preventing them from accessing the documents they needed. Against this background, they had asked the controller to grant them access to their e-mail account. However, the controller had never responded to the request. The DPA considered this to be a violation of the data subject's right to information under Art. 12 GDPR and Art. 15 (3) GDPR.
