What happened
Scottish company was fined £500,000 for making more than 193 million automated nuisance calls. The ICO found that people who received the calls had not given their consent, had not been provided with a valid opt-out option and couldn't identify who was making the calls. This way the company violated Section 40 of the Data Protection Act 1998 and Regulations 19 and 24 of Privacy and Electronic Communication Regulations 2003.
