Dutch watchdog fines Uber 10 million euro over privacy regulations infringement

The Dutch data protection authority (DPA) on Wednesday fined Uber Technologies and its Dutch unit 10 million euros ($10.84 million) for infringement of privacy regulations.

Uber failed to inform on the full details of data retention periods concerning European drivers, or to name the non-European countries in which it shares this data, the DPA said.

Uber also obstructed its drivers' efforts to exercise their right to privacy, the authority added.
