14 Nov 2025 Betreiber elektronischer Kommunikationsnetze und -dienste (in der Mitteilung nicht namentlich genannt)Croatian telecoms provider: 4.5 million EUR – customer data sent to Serbia without clauses CroatiaInternational data transfers €4.5m

The telecommunications provider allowed a software service provider belonging to the group in Serbia to access the entire SAP CRM customer database with administrator rights, from the end of 2022 without standard contractual clauses and without clear information to customers. The Agencija za zaštitu osobnih podataka (Croatian Personal Data Protection Agency, AZOP) also sanctioned the copying of employees’ identity cards and criminal records certificates and the failure to vet a telemarketing service provider; 4.5 million EUR in total.

What organisations can take from it

Expiring or never-renewed standard contractual clauses with group companies only come to light during an inspection – transfer agreements need a deadline register.

From 2010 to 2015, the suppliers of Ericsson/Aastra/Mitel telephone systems (PBX) allocated customers among themselves so as not to undercut each other. The Agencija za zaštitu tržišnog natjecanja (Croatian Competition Agency, AZTN) imposed a total of 1,170,968.24 EUR, of which 785,570.58 EUR on Ericsson Nikola Tesla; one leniency applicant (Steiner) was not penalised, and Kodeks received a reduction.

What organisations can take from it

Dealers of the same brand are also competitors – agreements on ‘own’ customers are a hardcore cartel.

Relevance to training and awareness

No agreements on customer or territorial allocation
