EN Gas inspector: Insufficient legal basis for data processing
€4,000 fine - Spanish Data Protection Authority (aepd)
Content
The Spanish DPA (AEPD) has fined a gas inspector. The controller had carried out butane gas checks in the private homes of the data subjects on the basis of a list containing their surnames, first names, addresses and telephone numbers. However, the data subjects had never consented to be included in the list. The original fine of EUR 5,000 was reduced to EUR 4,000 due to acknowledgement of guilt.
