The Dutch Data Protection Authority has fined Uber for transferring European drivers' personal data to US servers, violating the EU's General Data Protection Regulation. The DPA labeled the transfers a "serious violation" due to insufficient protection of sensitive information, including ID documents, taxi licenses, and location data. Uber plans to appeal the fine, arguing that its data transfer practices were compliant with GDPR during legal uncertainty between the EU and US. This marks the third GDPR-related fine against Uber by the DPA.
