Cyprus residents complain about political spam before elections
In Cyprus, the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection has begun receiving numerous complaints from citizens regarding unsolicited promotional SMS and phone calls from parliamentary candidates, their campaign headquarters, and political parties.
According to the department, in a number of cases, such messages and calls become too intrusive, and sometimes possible violations of personal data protection legislation are recorded.

The department emphasized that political campaigning must not violate the right of citizens to the protection of their personal information.
