Violation Summary

The data subject had demanded that his data be deleted from the Vodafone records in 2015, which the company agreed to and confirmed. However, he received more than 200 SMS messages in 2018, which Vodafone admitted it was a technical error on their part. They had performed tests, and the data subject’s phone number mistakenly appeared in various customer files. The fine was set at 27.000 Euros since Vodafone admitted to its mistake.
