The claimant filed a complaint with the AEPD against the political party Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE) for failing respect his right to object to the processing of information as they sent him political advertisement by email.
English Summary
Facts
The electoral roll list was sent to political parties. The lists were updated, so that persons who had objected to being on them within the deadline were removed. The AEPD noted that the right to object to processing following Article 21 is not absolute. The data may still be processed if the controller can demonstrate a compelling legitimate ground to continue the processing. The AEPD noted that the deadline set out by national law (LOREG) was one such legitimate ground.
Dispute
The question for the AEPD was if the claimant had registered his objection to the processing of his personal data within the deadline set out by law.
Holding
The AEPD found that as the claimant did not register his objection within the deadline, the PSOE was not in breach of the GDPR or national legislation by sending political advertisement to his address.
