What happened
The Italian DPA imposed a fine of €3000 on GTL for a breach of art. 12 and 15 of the GDPR in relation to an access request from a former employer. In particular, the Garante specified that a 'verbal' response, without any record of it, could not be considered adequate and therefore in line with the Regulation, even if the company has no information to communicate.
