CONSENT ORDER

 

UPON the Information Commissioner having issued a Monetary Penalty Notice to the Appellant on 4 October 2022

 

AND UPON the Information Commissioner having found in the Monetary Penalty Notice that the Appellant processed personal data in contravention of Article 5(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulations 2016/679 between 1 August 2019 and 19 August 2020 and should in consequence be required to pay a monetary penalty

 

AND UPON the Appellant having appealed to the Tribunal against the Monetary Penalty Notice pursuant to section 162 of the Data Protection Act 2018 on 31 October 2022

 

AND UPON the Appellant having permanently ceased the processing of personal data identified at paragraphs 29-30 in the Monetary Penalty Notice

 

AND UPON the Information Commissioner agreeing that the amount of the monetary penalty specified in the Monetary Penalty Notice should be £250,000

 

IT IS ORDERED BY CONSENT:

1.      In place of the Monetary Penalty Notice issued by the Commissioner, the Tribunal substitutes a Monetary Penalty Notice in identical terms, save that the amount of the monetary penalty shall be £250,000.

2.      Otherwise, the Appellant’s appeal is dismissed.
