FINALBeskrivning
The Spanish DPA has imposed a fine on BANCO CETELEM, S.A.. A person had filed a complaint against the controller with the DPA due to the fact that debits had been made from their account by the controller to a third party without there even being a contractual relationship between the data subject and the controller. The DPA also found that further debits were made despite complaints and requests for the data to be deleted. The original fine of EUR 250,000 was reduced to EUR 150,000 due to the voluntary payment and the acknowledgement of responsibility.
