The Netherlands' data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, in cooperation with France's DPA, the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertes, issued a 10 million euro fine to Uber for allegedly failing to disclose its data retention period for European drivers' data, not reporting the non-EU countries it shares data with, among others. The AP "acknowledged that Uber fixed the small number of 'low impact' issues raised by the drivers, while dismissing the vast majority of their claims as unfounded," an Uber spokesperson said, adding the company is "committed to continuously improving our data request processes and will always cooperate constructively with the authorities to address their concerns."
