- 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.

- This is the third penalty Uber has faced from the Dutch authority, previously fined for data retention and breach notification issues.
