Individuals could face steep fines for sending unsolicited marketing emails

In future individuals could face fines of up to 100,000 crowns for sending out unsolicited marketing emails without the recipient's consent. The penalty for unsolicited marketing mails sent by companies will be 10 million euros, as it has been to date. The draft amendment to the law put forward by the Office for Personal Data Protection was approved by the lower house on Friday and will now go to the Senate.
