# TIM S.p.A.: EUR 27,802,946

[Reviewed by Sergio Maldonado Elvira on 29 October 2026](https://dposchool.com/gdpr/about#review)

- **Authority:** Garante per la protezione dei dati personali
- **Country:** Italy
- **Date:** Decision of 15 January 2020
- **Amount:** EUR 27,802,946, as imposed (not converted)
- **Appeal status:** Unknown
- **Provisions cited:** [Article 5(1)(a)](https://dposchool.com/gdpr/article/5#1-a), [Article 5(2)](https://dposchool.com/gdpr/article/5#2), [Article 6](https://dposchool.com/gdpr/article/6), [Article 7](https://dposchool.com/gdpr/article/7), [Article 24](https://dposchool.com/gdpr/article/24), [Article 28](https://dposchool.com/gdpr/article/28)

## What the fine was for (summary, not the official text)

Aggressive telemarketing: calls to people who had refused or were on internal block lists, marketing without valid consent, and weak control of call-centre partners.

Not fully confirmed: Amount, date and name read in the decision (register no. 7 of 15 January 2020). Articles listed are those the decision states for its main finding (section 3.1, which also cites Article 130 of the Italian Code); later sections discuss further provisions (e.g. Articles 12 and 21), so the list may be incomplete.
