13 Nov 2024 Posti Jakelu OyPosti: 2.4 million EUR for automatically created e-mailboxes – court annuls fine overturned
Customers who ordered, for example, mail forwarding automatically received an electronic OmaPosti mailbox that could not be deselected separately; they were also informed insufficiently and in part incorrectly about the activation. The sanctions board of the Tietosuojavaltuutetun toimisto (Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman) found no contractual legal basis for this bundling and imposed 2.4 million EUR together with a reprimand and an order to rectify the situation. On 3 November 2025 the Helsinki Administrative Court upheld the reprimand and the order on account of the insufficient information but annulled the fine, as it considered the processing necessary for the contract on Posti’s electronic services.
Do not sell add-on services on the back of the contractual legal basis – anything not necessary for the main contract requires a separate choice.
