5. Based on the fact that has been declared bankrupt and has ceased to exist as a legal entity and the
fact that no personal data had been handed over to s trustee in bankruptcy, the EDPI has concluded

the complaint.
6. Based on these findings, the EDPI has shared its assessment with the Bavarian SA via IMI A61MA 711987 to
close the proceedings.
7. The EDPI therefore rejects the complaint based on article 60(8) GDPR.

BayLDA hereby adopts this draft decision as final decision in accordance with Article 60(8) of the GDPR.
