Content
The Hungarian DPA (NAIH) has imposed a fine of EUR 28,400 on Magyar Telekom Nyrt. The controller had mistakenly sent an e-mail newsletter to the data subject. This occurred due to the fact that a third party had mistakenly entered the wrong e-mail address, namely that of the data subject. The data subject then requested the controller to delete his data several times. He continued to receive the newsletter and instead of deleting the data, the controller sent him a link to unsubscribe from the newsletter.
