English Summary[edit | edit source]
Facts[edit | edit source]

Dispute[edit | edit source]
Holding[edit | edit source]
The Spanish DPA found ORANGE guilty of having processed the complainant's data without his consent since diligent compliance with the principle of legality in the processing of third party data requires the data controller to be in a position to prove valid consent.

The following points are also noted: On 9 April 2019, in the context of file E/04416/2018, after the documentation contained therein was analysed, a decision was taken by the director of the AEPD, agreeing not to admit the claim.

On the other hand, in its reply to this appeal, the defendant states that Agency, which adopted as a precautionary measure the freezing of recovery actions of the debt and the exclusion of the data from the file by transferring it to the Analysis Group of Risks to proceed with its study. They later stated that after exhaustive study there were indications enough to determine that the hiring has the appearance of legality.

C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es 28001 - Madrid sedeagpd.gob.es 7/13 LEGAL FOUNDATIONS I By virtue of the powers conferred on each individual by Article 58(2) of the GPRS, the authority, and in accordance with the provisions of Articles 47 and 48.1 of the LOPDGDD, the The Director of the Spanish Data Protection Agency is competent to resolve this procedure. II The defendant is charged with an infringement of the Article 6 of the GPRD, "Lawfulness of processing", which states in paragraph 1 the cases in which the processing of third party data is considered lawful: "1. Processing shall be lawful only if at least one of the following conditions is met conditions: (a) the data subject has given his consent to the processing of his data personal for one or more specific purposes; (b) processing is necessary for the performance of a contract in which the interested is a party to or for the application at his request of measures pre-contractual; (…)” The infringement is defined in Article 83.5 of the RGPD, which considers it as such: “5. Violations of the following provisions shall be sanctioned, in accordance with with paragraph 2, with administrative fines of up to EUR 20 000 000 or, in the case of a company, for an amount equivalent to a maximum of 4% of total annual turnover for the previous financial year, opting for the largest: (a) The basic principles for treatment, including the conditions for consent under Articles 5, 6, 7 and 9. The Organic Law 3/2018, on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights (LOPDGDD) in its article 72, under the heading "Infringements considered to be very serious," he says: "1. In accordance with the provisions of Article 83(5) of the Regulation (E.U.) 2016/679 are considered as very serious and will prescribe after three years the infringements that constitute a substantial infringement of the Articles mentioned in that one and, in In particular, the following: (…) b) The processing of personal data without any conditions for the lawfulness of processing laid down in Article 6 of Regulation (EU)2016/679. C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es 28001 - Madrid sedeagpd.gob.es 8/13 III The documentation in the file provides evidence that the Article 6.1 of the RGPD, since it dealt with the personal data of the claimant without having any legitimacy to do so. The personal data of the claimant were incorporated into the information systems of the company and inclusion in the Asnef credit information file, without accredited that he had his consent to the collection and processing of your personal data, or there is some other cause that makes it lawful to treatment carried out. In this regard, it has been possible to verify the existence of contracts and recordings of the company verifying the telephone contracting process in the which gives consent for the activation of the lines ***PHONE.5, ***PHONE.1, ***PHONE.2, ***PHONE.4, ***PHONE.3 and ***TELEPHONE.6, giving the same full appearance of legality. Likewise, the has verified that the bills generated by the services have been paid 13,403.19 is currently pending payment for invoices issued between 26/06/2015 and 26/07/2016. Therefore, since no irregularities could be established in the contracts made that allow this company to catalogue the controversial contracts as fraudulent, as well as being Once the police report has been filed, this commercial is not able to attribute falsehood to the registration of lines where the the regulatory requirements for recruitment. That said, the debt that currently maintained in this mercantile is considered certain, expired and enforceable." Well, on the part of the respondent, the claim of the The treatment of the claimants has not been sufficiently proven. personal data has been carried out in accordance with the above-mentioned precepts previously; it having been established that Orange has associated the personal data of the claimant to the discharge of six telephone lines he denies having contracted. The Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the National Court, in The Committee has considered that when the owner of the C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es 28001 - Madrid sedeagpd.gob.es 9/13 The burden of proof lies with the person who claims to have been hired. existence and the data controller of third parties must collect and keep the necessary documentation to prove the consent of the owner. We quote, for all, the SAN of 31/05/2006 (Rec. 539/2004), Fundamento de Derecho Fourth. The claimant's personal data were recorded in the files of the claimed and included in the Asnef credit information file and were treated for the issuance of invoices for services associated with the claimant. Accordingly, has processed the personal data without proving that count the legal entitlement to do so. However, and this is the essential point, the claimed does not prove the legal standing to the processing of the claimant's data. In short, the respondent has not provided any document or evidence any evidence that the entity, in such a situation, would have deployed the minimum diligence required to verify that your interlocutor was indeed the one he claimed to hold. Respect for the principle of legality which is at the heart of the fundamental right of personal data protection requires proof that the The controller took the necessary steps to prove that the extreme. If this is not done - and if it is not demanded by this Agency, which is responsible for ensuring for the compliance with the regulations of the data protection law of personal nature - the result would be to empty the principle of legality of its content. On the other hand, with regard to the allegations made by the respondent, the notes first of all that the prescription did not occur since it is recorded in the files the outstanding debt and Orange took action to recover the debt and therefore there was data processing, as stated in the claim in its letter of 9 September 2018. On the other hand, as recognized by the requested in the drafting of the articles 64.2 first and second paragraphs and 65.1, 2 and 4 of the LOPDGDD is not established from the obligation to notify the Resolution of non-admission to the The complaint will not be processed, nor will the resolution of the appeal for reversal be accepted. It should be noted that the reference made by the respondent to Article 118.1 of the LPACAP, that "when new facts or documents are to be taken into account, not in the original file, shall be disclosed to the parties concerned in order to within a period of not less than ten days and not more than fifteen days, make the allegations and submit the documents and supporting evidence they deem appropriate'. However, the present penalty proceedings do not concern new facts, are the same. Therefore, the sanctioning procedure has been opened with all the legal guarantees and therefore there is no place for such a claim. C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es 28001 - Madrid sedeagpd.gob.es 10/13 With regard to the merits of the dispute, as indicated by the SAN of 12 May 2014, "Telephone recording which cannot be validly recorded for the purpose of unambiguous consent, not only because no reference is made to such consent but, above all, because such consent in Article 6.1 LOPD must be of the owner of the personal data and in the present case it is clear that he is not, since the voice on the recording is male and not female. On the other hand, and with regard to the alleged existence of tacit consent as a result of the payment of electricity bills by part of the complainant. That payment does not mean, as this Chamber has stated in The Committee is concerned about the conformity of the person concerned with the continued treatment of his or her personal data by ..." The lack of diligence displayed by the entity in complying with the obligations imposed by personal data protection regulations is therefore obvious. Diligent compliance with the principle of lawfulness of processing of third party data requires that the data controller be in a position to prove it (principle of proactive responsibility). IV According to the provisions of the RGPD in its Article 83.1 and 83.2, when deciding the imposition of an administrative fine and its amount in each individual case shall be taking into account the aggravating and mitigating factors listed in the and any other that may be applicable to the circumstances of the case.

With respect to section 83.2 (k) of the RGPD, the LOPDGDD, section 76, "Sanctions and corrective measures," he says: "In accordance with Article 83(2)(k) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 may also be taken into account: (a) the continuing nature of the infringement (b) The link between the activity of the offender and the carrying out of processing operations personal data.

(f) Affecting the rights of minors. g) To have, when it is not compulsory, a data protection delegate. h) The submission by the person responsible or in charge, on a voluntary basis, to alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, in those cases where there are disputes between them and any interested party." In accordance with the above-mentioned provisions, for the purpose of setting the amount of the penalty of a fine to be imposed in the present case for the infringement in the article 83.5.a) of the RGPD for which the Respondent is held responsible, are considered The following factors are concurrent: As aggravating criteria: C/ Jorge Juan, 6 www.aepd.es 28001 - Madrid sedeagpd.gob.es 12/13 - In this case we are dealing with an unintentional negligent action, but identified significant (Article 83(2)(b)). - Basic personal identifiers are affected (name, a identification number, the line identifier) (Article 83(2)(g)). The balance of the circumstances referred to in Article 83(2) of the GPRS, with with regard to the infringement committed in breach of the provisions of Article 6 thereof, allows for the establishment a penalty of 80,000 euros (eighty thousand euros), classified as "very serious", to effects of prescription of the same, in Article 72.1.b) of the LOPDGDD.
