Uber is facing a massive GDPR fine after the Dutch regulator claimed it violated the regulation by storing driver data in the US without adequate safeguards.
The Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) announced the €290m ($324m) fine yesterday, claiming that it stems from the same concerns that have led to years-long legal wranglings between the EU and US.
Specifically, these are that European citizens’ human rights may be imperilled if their data is stored in the US without safeguards, as their personal data may otherwise be accessed and queried by law enforcement and intelligence agencies there.
