26 May 2025 Repsol Comercializadora de Electricidad y Gas, S.L.AEPD: €1.38m fine for Repsol retail arm over contracts under mixed-up customer data SpainData breaches and data security €1.38m

Because another customer's switching request with an almost identical name was recorded in the complainant's customer account, gas and electricity contracts for a supply point unknown to her ran under her data, and a third party, as contract holder, gained access to that data. The AEPD imposed 130,000 EUR for breaching the accuracy principle (Art. 5(1)(d)) and 1,250,000 EUR for inadequate security measures (Art. 32), 1,380,000 EUR in total.

What organisations can take from it

Where names are similar, customer data must be matched against unique identifiers before any contract change so that no contracts are created under someone else's data.

Relevance to training and awareness

Unambiguous matching of customer data when concluding contracts
