English Summary
The company appealed before the HDPA to amend decision imposing a fine of € 24.000 for violations of the national data protection law, which was in force prior to the GDPR. The HDPA accepted the company's claim that it had not effectively exercised its right to objection according to the Greek administrative procedural code and thus, the case should be examined again. Therefore, based on the new facts, the HDPA reduced the fine to € 22.000.
