Historic Fine Issued in Spain for Telemarketing Spam to Registered Users

Madrid, Spain – The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) has imposed a historic 5,000 euro fine on a telecommunications company for making unauthorized commercial calls to an individual registered on the Robinson list. This marks the first official sanction of its kind in Spain against unsolicited telemarketing. The Robinson list is a free service that allows individuals to opt out of receiving commercial communications. According to the AEPD, companies can no longer use excuses such as third-party data or provider errors to justify contacting individuals on this list. The responsibility for ensuring compliance now firmly rests with the entity launching the marketing campaign, whether through automated calls or human telemarketers. This ruling sends a clear message to the telecommunications sector: ignoring the Robinson list will no longer be without financial repercussions. For consumers, it provides a strong incentive to register on the list, offering a tangible means to regain control over their privacy and reduce unwanted spam calls.
