2 Mar 2026 Suomen Numerokeskus OySuomen Numerokeskus: 5,000 EUR – call recordings only played by phone instead of provided as a copy FinlandData subject rights and transparency €5,000

Following six complaints, the Tietosuojavaltuutetun toimisto (Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman) found that the company did not provide a copy to customers who requested recordings of their sales calls in order to dispute invoices, offering only to let them listen via customer service, and in some cases deleted recordings. In addition to a reprimand, a fine of 5,000 EUR was imposed.

What organisations can take from it

Access means a copy: anyone who records calls must be able to provide the recording to data subjects in a suitable form.

Relevance to training and awareness
