It was also stated that filling out the newsletter subscription form would be considered as consent to the processing of personal data. This constitutes a violation of the GDPR, as according to Art. 8 GDPR, the processing of personal data of under-16-year-olds requires the consent of the holder of parental responsibility over the child.
