The Hellenic DPA (HDPA) fined a politician €2000 for unsolicited political communication (SMS), although the complainant eventually withdrew their complaint.
English Summary

Facts

Individual complained that they received an SMS from politician promoting his candidacy at the upcoming -at that time- European elections. The complainant claimed that they did not have any previous relationship with the politician nor gave they ever their consent.
The complainant finally withdrew the complaint claiming that they had given their consent.
Dispute

Did the politician send unsolicited political communication?
Holding

The HDPA held that the politician is a data controller under the GDPR and needs to establish a valid legal basis to process personal data. Unsolicited political communication is regulated with Article 11 L. 3471/2006 as interpreted with HDPA Guidelines 1/2010, according to which the politician must obtain consent and always give a clear right to objection.
Further, the HDPA held that according to Article 13(1)(h) L. 4624/2019 it may conduct investigations either on its own motion or upon complaint and despite the withdrawal of the complaint it found a violation of Article 11 L. 3471/2006 and imposed a € 2.000 fine.
Comment

In previous similar cases, the HDPA held that a complaint is not a civil law dispute which is hugely determined by the parties' will and thus the Authority is not bound by a complaint withdrawal. The Authority may also run investigations on its own motion when it becomes aware of certain facts.

-The HDPA fined politician € 2.000 for unsolicited political communication (SMS), although the complainant eventually withdrew their complaint.
+The Hellenic DPA (HDPA) fined a politician €2000 for unsolicited political communication (SMS), although the complainant eventually withdrew their complaint.
-== English Summary ==
+==English Summary==
-=== Facts ===
+===Facts===
 Individual complained that they received an SMS from politician promoting his candidacy at the upcoming -at that time- European elections. The complainant claimed that they did not have any previous relationship with the politician nor gave they ever their consent.
 The complainant finally withdrew the complaint claiming that they had given their consent.
-=== Dispute ===
+===Dispute===
+Did the politician send unsolicited political communication?
-=== Holding ===
+===Holding===
 The HDPA held that the politician is a data controller under the GDPR and needs to establish a valid legal basis to process personal data. Unsolicited political communication is regulated with Article 11 L. 3471/2006 as interpreted with HDPA Guidelines 1/2010, according to which the politician must obtain consent and always give a clear right to objection.
 Further, the HDPA held that according to Article 13(1)(h) L. 4624/2019 it may conduct investigations either on its own motion or upon complaint and despite the withdrawal of the complaint it found a violation of Article 11 L. 3471/2006 and imposed a € 2.000 fine.
-== Comment ==
+==Comment==
 In previous similar cases, the HDPA held that a complaint is not a civil law dispute which is hugely determined by the parties' will and thus the Authority is not bound by a complaint withdrawal. The Authority may also run investigations on its own motion when it becomes aware of certain facts.
