FINALDescription
The Spanish DPA (AEPD) has fined Automecanica Jerez, S.L. EUR 4,000. The controller had sent commercial e-mails to a large number of people without their consent. In doing so, the controller failed to hide the personal data of the recipients, such as surname, first name and email address, which allowed the other recipients to view the data. The AEPD considered this to be a violation of Article 5 (1) f) GDPR and Article 32 GDPR, as the controller had failed to implement technical and organizational measures to ensure an adequate level of security in the processing of personal data. Furthermore the AEPD found a breach of Art. 21 LSSI.
