Uber Hit by Record $324 Million Fine for Data Transfers to US

Uber was fined €290 million ($324 million) by the Dutch privacy watchdog for failing to protect driver data when transferring it to the US.
The fine is the highest ever issued by the Dutch Data Protection Authority and the biggest Uber has received globally.
Uber collected and retained sensitive driver data, including taxi licenses and medical information, on US servers without adequate privacy protections.
The violation lasted over two years, but Uber ended the practice last year and plans to appeal the fine.
This is the third penalty Uber has faced from the Dutch authority, previously fined for data retention and breach notification issues.
