Advocate General delivers opinion on GDPR consent
On March 4, 2020, Advocate General Szpunar (“AG”) delivered his opinion in the case C-61/19 Orange România SA v Autoritatea Naţională de Supraveghere a Prelucrării Datelor cu Caracter Personal (ANSPDCP).
The AG concluded that a printed telecommunication contract stating that customers consent to the processing of a copy of their identification card does not meet the strict requirements for consent of the GDPR, even if the customers are orally informed that they can refuse their consent by writing this by hand on the contract.
