The Office for the Protection of Personal Data received a complaint from a data subject regarding irregularities in the processing of her personal data by a sole proprietor. The DPA asked the entrepreneur for clarification on the processing of the data subject's personal data. Correspondence from the supervisory authority was delivered to the controller but remained unanswered. The entrepreneur also failed to respond to a second request for explanations. Due to the entrepreneur's failure to provide information necessary to resolve the case initiated by the data subject's complaint, the President of UODO initiated administrative proceedings to impose an administrative fine on the entrepreneur. The DPA found that the controller violated Article 31 GDPR and Article 58(1)(e) GDPR and issued a warning to the entrepreneur.
