Violation Summary
A fine was issued to the National Football League (LaLiga) because it had failed to inform users of the implications contained within the app it offered. This app remotely accessed the users’ microphones once every minute to check pubs screening football matches. The AEPD thinks that the users were not sufficiently informed of this. Moreover, the users did not have the adequate possibility to withdraw their consent, once given.
