Joining the Robinson List is a great lifesaver for many people who feel harassed by a daily avalanche of commercial calls. But that doesn’t seem like enough of a measure, as these annoying calls keep coming. And many times there is no one on the other end, so they are doubly annoying. But a recent resolution shows that this list does serve a purpose.
The Data Protection Agency (AEPD) has imposed a fine of 10,000 euros on a company that skipped the Robinson List and called a woman who was listed. To the misfortune of this company, the victim of the calls denounced and justice has proved him right.
The culprit of making these calls has been TECNOCUBE MARKETING SL, as indicated in the sentence. This company worked for Vodafone, to whom the fine has been sent, although it will not have to assume it because the complaint goes to the company that makes the call.

The lawyer Alba del Campo has explained on Twitter that any person who is registered on the Robinson List has the right to claim when article 23.4 of the LOPDGDD and article 21 of the RGPD are violated.
“If after exercising your rights or putting into practice the suggestions indicated in the previous points, you continue to receive unwanted advertising, you can file a claim with the Spanish Data Protection Agency,” the AEPD warns.
What is the Robinson List?
Advertising campaigns can become invasive so this list allows you to express an express rejection that you do not want to continue receiving advertising. In this way, being present in this service allows users to avoid receiving messages and advertising from companies that did not consent. It is completely free and works for different communication channels.
So if companies keep calling despite being on this list, the best option is to report it. It is an effective process, but also somewhat heavy when having to present documentation.
