The Netherlands’ data protection authority, Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, fined the Tax and Customs Administration 2.75 million euros for data processing violations under the EU General Data Protection Regulation. The AP deemed the administration's processing of dual nationality information belonging to applicants for childcare allowance "unlawful, discriminatory and therefore improper," noting the administration should have deleted the data according to data minimization principles. AP chairman Aleid Wolfsen said the case is an example of how "unlawful processing with an algorithm has violated the right to non-discrimination."
