The Italian Data Protection Authority issued a final decision on 3 July 2026 finding BBVA infringed Articles 5, 12, 21 and 24 of the GDPR by failing to honor a customer's objection to direct marketing. BBVA was ordered to pay an administrative fine of EUR 5 508 000 and to adopt technical and organisational measures to respect data‑subject rights.
Why it matters: The enforcement highlights the obligation of controllers to promptly honor opt‑out requests and the financial risk of non‑compliance.
