Violation Summary

The financial institution refused the data erasure request of a customer, arguing that it was in the institution’s best interests to retain the phone number, given that the customer had debts. However, the NAIH argued that the creditor could communicate with the debtor by post, and the phone number was unnecessary. The financial institution had broken the data minimization and purpose limitation principles. A fine was issued equal to 0.025% of the institution’s annual net revenue.
