The company has not provided to the Spanish DPA the information it requested in the course of an investigation following a complaint by Ms AAA. With the above-mentioned conduct of the respondent, the power of investigation that the Article 58(1) of the RGPD confers on the supervisory authorities, in this case, the AEPD, has been hampered. What are the consequences of failing to comply with a DPA's request for access to information? What happens if the company penalised recognises its responsibility and proceeds to the voluntary payment of the fine imposed by the DPA? The Spanish DPA imposed a fine of EUR 5 000 on the company under investigation, which was reduced to EUR 3 000 for the company's voluntary payment and acknowledgment of its responsibility for the facts (in turn waiving any subsequent appeal against the decision)
