Hellenic SA Fines Debt Management Company

The Hellenic SA fined the company for unlawful processing, and non-essential examination of rights to object and erasure.

According to the information published on the European Data Protection Board’s website:

A complaint was filed to the Hellenic Supervisory Authority (SA) against a loans and credits claims management company: The subject of the complaint is about unlawful processing of personal data and non-essential examination of rights to object and erasure.

The Hellenic SA found that in this particular case the company complained of unduly impeded the exercise of the complainant’s rights, in breach of the provision of Article 12(2) of the GDPR, and that the processing in question took place without a legal basis, given that there was already a judicial exemption from the complainant’s debts, in breach of the provisions of Articles 5(1)(a), 5(2) and (6) of the GDPR.

The Hellenic SA imposed a fine of EUR 10,000 for breach of Article 12(2) of the GDPR and EUR 10,000 for infringements of Articles 5(1)(a), 5(2), and 6 of the GDPR.
