What happened
The AEPD fined 48 000 € a Spanish hospital group for the violation of Articles 5(1)(a) and 6(1)(a) GDPR, and thus, for the processing of personal data without any legal basis. The AEPD ruled that the data controller obtained the data subject's consent for the sharing of personal data to third parties through "opt-out" clause.
