Facts
On 28 March 2018, the Autoritatea Naţională de Supraveghere a Prelucrării Datelor cu Caracter Personal (national Romanian data protection authority; ‘the ANSPDCP’), based on Article 32 of Law No 677/2001 (Romanian Data Protection Act) imposed an administrative penalty on Orange România (a provider of mobile telecommunication services on the Romanian market) on the ground that copies of the identity documents of its customers had been obtained and stored without their express consent.
Orange România had requested consent for this data processing from its customers by giving them the opportunity to refuse their consent in handwritten form on the contract forms used by Orange România.
Orange România appealed against the ANSPDCP's decision before the Tribunalul Bucureşti (Regional Court, Bucharest, Romania) which then requested the EUCJ'S preliminar ruling on the following questions:
‘(1) For the purposes of Article 2(h) of [Directive 95/46], what conditions must be fulfilled in order for an indication of wishes to be regarded as specific and informed?
(2) For the purposes of Article 2(h) of [Directive 95/46], what conditions must be fulfilled in order for an indication of wishes to be regarded as freely given?’
