What happened
The Hungarian DPA fined a news service 2,000,000 HUF (approx. €5,080) for processing personal data without valid consent. Data subjects who signed up for the controller's newsletter were automatically signed up to electronic marketing and a prize draw without being sufficiently informed nor being able to give granular consent.
