CAIXABANK PAYMENTS & CONSUMER EFC, EP, S.A.U.: Insufficient legal basis for data processing

The Spanish DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 200,000 on CAIXABANK PAYMENTS & CONSUMER EFC, EP, S.A.U.. The controller had included the data subject's personal data in a credit reporting register without a sufficient legal basis. The controller justified this with alleged debts that the data subject had with the controller. In fact, however, the parties were still involved in ongoing court proceedings.
