The Dutch Data Protection Authority (DPA) fined Uber 290 million euros (U.S. $323.7 million) for illegally transferring data on European drivers to American servers and failing to appropriately safeguard the transfers.
Over a period of two years, Uber collected sensitive information on European drivers that included account details, taxi licenses, location data, photos, payment details, identity documents, and criminal and medical data of drivers, the Dutch DPA said Monday in a press release.
