BNP Paribas Personal Finance SA Paris Sucursala București – €2,047 Fine (Romania, 2021)

BNP Paribas sent a commercial SMS to a person without proving prior consent, despite her repeated earlier objections to marketing. ANSPDCP imposed RON 10,000 for unsolicited communications under Article 12 of Law 506/2004, punishable under Article 13(1)(q) of that national law. This is a national electronic-communications sanction, and the source establishes no separate GDPR Article 12 or Article 13 infringement. This February 2021 SMS-marketing case is separate from the older BNP Paribas erasure-request response case, which concerned Article 12(3) GDPR and a RON 9,508 / EUR 2,000 fine. The quotation of general national-law exceptions and sender-identity rules is distinguished from the actual finding. The 10000 RON fine is converted at the ECB publication-date reference rate on 2021-03-18 of RON 4.8858 per EUR 1, rounded to EUR 2047. The conversion date is not the decision date. The official announcement reports investigation completion in 2021-02, without an exact decision day. Its later publication date is retained as a publication fact rather than the action date. Appeal status is not established by the announcement.
