The Spanish Data Protection Agency has changed its strategy in 2021 , as reported by Business Insider Spain , and the latest million-dollar sanctions ( Vodafone , 8.5 million; or EDP , 3 million) demonstrate it. The Spanish control body has already imposed sanctions for more than 23 million euros from the end of 2020 to May 2021. In addition to the high-profile fines of Vodafone and EDP, we must remember those that the agency proposed for CaixaBank (6 million), BBVA ( 5 million) and, more recently, Equifax (one million) or Air Europ.
The purpose of the AEPD is that Spanish diligence for the General Data Protection Regulation (RGPD) is more similar to what its counterpart organizations do. In total, since the AEPD began to raise sanctioning procedures for violations of the RGPD (which came into force in May 2018), Spain has proposed fines worth 29,372,510 million euros. Those nearly 30 million Armenia Phone Number List euros are divided, however, into 222 fines. Compared to the Spanish case, the Italian one, which is the country with the largest sanctions. More than 76 million euros in penalties in just 73 fines. The French case is also paradoxical. It is in second position in the ranking prepared by the GDPR Enforcement Tracker with more than 54.6 million euros distributed across 14 fines. To understand why such large sanctions are imposed, it is enough to point out that in January 2019 the French control body fined Google 50 million euros.
The store that went viral for selling banners against the Government, sanctioned by the AEPD for violating the Data Protection Regulation Germany follows France and Italy with 49 million euros in 30 sanctions. In fourth place is Spain. That, in the table that is prepared by the value of fines. In the table that is drawn up according to the number of sanctions, Spain is the clear leader. Its 222 sanctions far exceed the 73 fines that the Italian organization has proposed, or the 54 that Romania has proposed (and whose value does not exceed 700,000 euros in total). In total, the 23 million euros in sanctions that the AEPD has imposed from the end of 2020 to today means that 500% of all the sanctions that the organization had imposed between 2018 and last year have been raised in less than 6 months. . A substantial change in strategy. The amount of fines will continue to grow The sanctions could continue to multiply. This change in trend can be explained by the fact that the AEPD has already finished closing all the files and procedures that were open with the previous Organic Law on Data Protection (LOPD), which was replaced by the transposition of the RGPD.
