Violation Summary
A person was charged by the phone operator Telefónica for a telephone service that they never requested and owned. This happened because the bank account of the affected person was linked to the Telefónica profile of another person and as such the fees for the service were deduced from the affected person’s account. The AEDP ruled that this was against the principles described by article 5 of GDPR.
