Insufficient legal basis for data processing

One consumer complained that AVON COSMETICS had processed his data illegally without properly verifying his identity, resulting in his data being incorrectly registered in a list of claims, which prevented him from cooperating with his bank. As a result, a third party had used the consumer's personal data fraudulently. Authority: Spanish Data Protection Authority (aepd)
