The Dutch Data Protection Authority has imposed a fine of €290 million on Uber because the US driver service provider is alleged to have inadequately protected data from European drivers when transferring it to its headquarters. According to the data protection authority in The Hague, the data stored on servers in the USA included proof of identity and payment details, but sometimes also criminal and medical data of the drivers. Uber has since remedied the infringement, which lasted around two years. The ride-hailing company has announced that it will appeal against the fine.
