Dutch Regulator Fines Uber €290M for Violating Driver Data Privacy Rights

The Netherlands data protection authority has fined Uber 290 million euros for breaching European data privacy regulations related to driver data handling. The penalty centers on Uber's practice of making decisions about driver account deactivations through automated processing alone. Under European data law, individuals must not be subjected to decisions made solely by automated systems without human oversight. The ruling highlights growing regulatory scrutiny of how tech platforms use algorithms to manage workers. Uber has not yet publicly confirmed whether it will appeal the decision.
