3 Sep 2026 Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. – Niederlassung Italien (BBVA Italia)Garante: 5.5 million EUR against BBVA Italia over advertising despite objection ItalyMarketing and consent €5.51m

For seven months (October 2025 to May 2026), the bank continued to send a customer advertising via its app, although he had objected several times. The Italian data protection authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) also found deficient systems for implementing objections and inaccurate information about the processing, and imposed 5,508,000 EUR (Provvedimento No. 613).

What organisations can take from it

An objection to advertising must take effect immediately and reliably across all channels – including app messages.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
