Azienda Trasporto Passeggeri Emilia-Romagna S.p.A.: Non-compliance with general data processing principles

The Italian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 50,000 on the transport company azienda Trasporto Passeggeri Emilia-Romagna S.p.A.. The controller provided insufficient information on data processing on a form used to conclude a public transport subscription. The form did not allow a distinction between mandatory and optional data (such as cell phone number and email address) and did not clearly inform users of their right to object to processing for direct marketing purposes.
