What happened

The DPA held that a real estate company unlawfully processed a data subject’s personal data by contacting him despite his explicit statement in an online advertisement that real estate agents were not welcome. Reliance on legitimate interests under GDPR failed because the data subject’s clear objection outweighed the controller’s commercial interests.
