The inspections referred to telemarketing, the use of geo-localization systems in working place, the mobile payments, consumer credit and central risk, profiling activities and data retention.

With specific reference to the administrative fines, 578 proceedings have been started in the 2012, 61 percent more than in 2011, most of them referred to:

  • omitted information to data subjects;
  • unlawful data processing;
  • failure to comply with telemarketing regulation;
  • excessive data retention of both telephone and telematics traffic data;
  • failure to adopt security measures;
  • failure to submit notification or submitting an incomplete notification to the Garante, and
