The Spanish DPA (AEPD) has imposed a fine on Vodafone España S.A.U.. A data subjects had filed a complaint with the AEPD against the controller. The data subject complained about receiving invoices even though there was no longer a contractual relationship between them and the controller. However, although the data subject had objected to the continued receipt of messages as there were no more invoices outstanding and the controller had confirmed this, the sending continued. The DPA therefore found, that the controller processed the data subejct's data without a valid legal basis. The original fine of EUR 70,000 was reduced to EUR 42,000 due to immediate payment and admission of guilt.
