Full text
The DPA of Berlin imposed a fine on a credit agency. In the course of its investigation, the DPA found that the controller had stored 27 false addresses and 13 false dates of birth of a data subject for more than two years. The controller did not correct this data until the data subject submitted a request for information. However, the DPA also found that the information was provided late due to an internal error.
