Italy’s data protection authority Garante fined U.K.-based food delivery company Deliveroo €2.5 million (U.S. $3 million) for violating the privacy rights of its Italian drivers.
The fine, issued July 22 and further explained in English by Garante in a newsletter Monday, is the second announced by the regulator against a food delivery company in less than a month regarding breaches of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Foodinho in June (announced in July) was penalized €2.6 million (U.S. $3.1 million) because the app at the core of its business model allegedly discriminated against employees.
