14 Apr 2025 Iberinform Internacional, S.A.AEPD: 720,000 EUR against business information agency Iberinform for purchased data on entrepreneurs SpainData subject rights and transparency €720,000

Since 2008, Iberinform had obtained data on sole traders through a supply contract with Camerdata and used it to enrich its own files for commercial information services. The Spanish data protection authority (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, AEPD) found no legal basis for this and no information of the data subjects, and imposed 360,000 EUR for each (720,000 EUR in total) as well as an order to bring the processing into compliance; the request for reconsideration (recurso de reposición) was rejected.

What organisations can take from it

Companies that purchase personal data from third parties need their own legal basis and must actively inform the data subjects.
