5 Jun 2025 CaixaBank, S.A.AEPD: 200,000 EUR against CaixaBank over continued storage of a non-customer's data SpainMarketing and consent €200,000

A person who was not (or no longer) a customer received a letter from CaixaBank about an update to its privacy statement, announcing that she would be contacted about her advertising preferences. The Spanish data protection authority (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, AEPD) considered the continued storage of her data to be an infringement of the principle of storage limitation and imposed 200,000 EUR; the bank's request for reconsideration was dismissed as inadmissible.

What organisations can take from it

Before mass mailings, check whether the recipients' data may still be stored at all – former customers should be deleted, not written to.
