Summary of the Decision
Origin of the case
The complainant alleged he had received unwanted advertising. After requesting access to his personal data, he received a screenshot from the controller showing the information he had allegedly shared in order to participate in an online competition. This included his address and contact details.
The complainant argued that he had in fact not participated in the online competition and did not provide his consent, so he lodged a complaint assuming that a third party entered his contact details.
Findings
The LSA sent a request for further information to the complainant, which remained unanswered.
Decision
The case was rejected as no evidence was submitted by the complainant.
