The DPA imposed a €7,500 fine for sending commercial emails to the data subject after she unsubscribed from them and for providing an inexistent email address on its website for data protection related issues.
English Summary
Facts
The data subject downloaded an app called “Shop Buo” on her phone and uninstalled it the same day. He started receiving emails from the same company (“controller”). She unsubscribed from the newsletter via the link included in the commercial email and received confirmation of the unsubscription.
The next month, she received another commercial email from the controller. The data subject then sent an email to the address provided on the controller’s website but he received an email indicating that the email address does not exist.
She therefore decided to lodge a complaint with the Spanish DPA (“AEPD”).
Holding
Firstly, the AEPD considered that under Article 21 of the Spanish Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (Ley 34/2002, de 11 de julio, de Servicios de la Sociedad de la Información y Comercio Electrónico (LSSI)), the sending of promotional communications by email that have not been previously requested or expressly authorized by the recipients of said communications is prohibited. The AEPD considered it appropriate to impose a €2,500 fine for the infringement of this Article.
Secondly, the AEPD pointed out that Article 21 GDPR provides the data subject with the right to object to the processing of their personal data. The DPA held that the fact that the controller provided an email address which did not actually exist or could not be accessed constitutes a breach of Article 21 GDPR. The AEPD imposed a 5,000€ fine for the infringement of this Article.
Therefore, the AEPD imposed a €7,500 fine in total for the infringement of Spanish national law and Article 21 GDPR.

III.-1
Classification of the infringement committed by sending commercial communications
The fact that the defendant sends advertising emails to the complainant
having requested that they not send him more advertising constitutes a violation
of what is established in article 21 of the LSSI, as it establishes the following:
"1. Sending advertising or promotional communications is prohibited
by email or other equivalent means of electronic communication
that had not previously been requested or expressly authorized by
the recipients of these.
2. The provisions of the previous section will not apply when there is a
prior contractual relationship, provided that the provider had obtained
lawfully authorizes the contact details of the recipient and will use them to send the
commercial communications referring to products or services of its own
company that are similar to those that were initially subject to
contracting with the client.
In any case, the provider must offer the recipient the possibility of
oppose the processing of your data for promotional purposes through a

28001 – Madrid sedeagpd.gob.es 7/12
simple and free procedure, both at the time of data collection
as in each of the commercial communications that I send to you.
When the communications have been sent by email,
said means must necessarily consist of the inclusion of an address
email or other valid electronic address where you can
exercise this right, being prohibited the sending of communications that
do not include said address.”
III.-2
Sanction
The aforementioned violation of article 21 of the LSSI is classified as minor in the
art. 38.4.d) of said standard, which qualifies as such, “The sending of communications
commercial by email or other means of electronic communication
equivalent when said shipments do not meet the requirements established in the
article 21 and does not constitute a serious infraction.”
In accordance with these criteria, it is considered appropriate to impose a penalty of 2,500
euros, (two thousand five hundred euros), for the violation of article 21 of the LSSI, by sending
advertising messages to the claimant, having previously opposed it.
IV.-1
