Uber faces a multi-million-euro penalty: 825 million euro fine in the Netherlands.
The Dutch data protection authority (AP) has imposed a record fine of 825 million euros on the taxi company Uber for violating European data protection rules. The company had automatically suspended drivers' accounts from 2020 to 2022 and had not sufficiently informed the drivers about automated decision-making. Uber has since remedied the violations, according to the authority.
Under European data protection rules, such drastic decisions may not be made entirely automatically, the authority said. In addition, Uber violated the drivers' right of access to information. In the view of the supervisory authority, this is a serious case that justifies the high fine.
Uber to File an Appeal
Uber announced that it would appeal. «We strongly oppose this decision and the disproportionately high fine and will file an appeal against it. The AP has reviewed guidelines from the past that had already been repealed years ago,» a spokesman said.
France had initially brought the case. Since the US company has its European headquarters in the Netherlands, the authority also ruled in that country.
