Four complainants alleged that the Democratic Party had sent them SMS messages as well as telephone harassment. When the complaints were investigated, it emerged that they were only telephone harassment. The two complainants had a legitimate interest in the use of their personal data since they were members of the political party in question (Article 6(1)(f)). In the case of the other two complainants, the political party had failed to demonstrate the consent of the data subjects under Article 6(1)(a). Authority: Political Party
