27 Nov 2025 Infobel SAInfobel: data broker sold consumer data for direct marketing without legal basis BelgiumMarketing and consent €5,000

The address broker (formerly Kapitol) had passed on the complainant’s data via a media agency to an advertiser for direct marketing without being able to demonstrate valid consent. The Autorité de protection des données (Belgian Data Protection Authority, APD) imposed 40,000 EUR and ordered erasure and information of the recipients; on 3 June 2026 the Cour des marchés (Brussels Market Court) set aside these parts and itself set the fine at 5,000 EUR.
