Insufficient fulfilment of information obligations
The national football league (LaLiga) was imposed a fine for providing an app that accessed the microphone of the user's mobile phone once a minute to identify pubs that show football matches without having to pay a fee. The AEPD considers that the LaLiga did not provide sufficient information to users of the app about this practice. In addition, the app did not meet the requirements for revoking consent.
