A data subject received a number of advertising emails that stated his personal data was part of an 'automated file' on a database managed by AD735 Data Media Advertising. He sent an email to the company requesting the deletion of his personal data from all such databases and cancel any further commercial communications. Following this first email, the data subject kept receiving automated advertising emails and sent four reminders of his request, three of which were ignored. Thus, he complained to the AEPD. The AEPD found two infringements. First, it held the company infringed Article 17(1) GDPR for failing to comply with the right to erasure exercised by the claimant and imposed a €10,000 fine. Second, it held the company infringed Article 21 the LSSI (Law of Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce) for sending commercial communications recipients did not consent to and imposed a €5,000 fine.
