23 Jul 2026 TIM S.p.A.Garante: €9.5m fine for TIM over unlawful telemarketing through partner call centres €9.52m
The Garante (Italian data protection authority) fined TIM 9,516,000 EUR because call centres outside the official sales network made promotional calls on the company's behalf using numbers not recorded in the operators' register ROC or falsified numbers (spoofing), often to lines entered in the do-not-call register, and the contacts obtained in this way reached its systems as apparently lawful leads via fictitious call-back requests on sales partners' web forms. The authority found that TIM had selected and supervised its sales partners inadequately and had systematically failed to answer, or answered late, requests for access, erasure and objection. In addition, TIM must secure its lead process, strengthen oversight of the sales chain and adapt its procedures for data subject rights.
Anyone acquiring customers through agencies and call centres must actively monitor the entire lead chain – a code of conduct does not replace that oversight.
