Dutch DPA fines Uber EUR 824 990 000 for unlawful automated decision-making and insufficient information on profiling

In EDPB’s words

The Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP), the Dutch data protection authority, imposes a fine of EUR 824 990 000 on Uber. The reason for this is that the AP has ruled that Uber made fully automated decisions about drivers. In case of suspicions of fraud or customer reviews that were too low, drivers' accounts were automatically temporarily deactivated or, in case of persistent low customer reviews, permanently deactivated. As a result, their income was lost via Uber during the deactivation.
