Holding

The DPA held that the controller had violated Article 21 GDPR by continuing to contact the data subject for direct marketing purposes after the data subject had exercised their right to object. The DPA considered that the continued transmission of marketing calls and SMS messages constituted unlawful processing of personal data and demonstrated the controller's failure to give effect to the data subject's objection request. In addition, as a corrective measure, the DPA ordered the controller to adopt appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure GDPR-compliant marketing activities and the effective exercise of data subjects' rights. Finally, the Romanian DPA fined the controller €2,000 (RON 10,517) for a breach of Article 21 GDPR.
