Europe: Regulators fine Uber for sending drivers’ data onto servers in the United States; incl. company comment

"Uber fined €290 million for sending drivers’ data outside Europe"

Ride-hailing tech giant protests against what it called a “flawed decision.”

Dutch and French regulators Monday announced they slapped a €290 million fine on Uber for failing to properly protect the privacy of drivers when transferring data outside of the EU.

Regulators said Uber failed to sufficiently protect sensitive information of European drivers when transferring the data onto servers in the United States. The data included account details, taxi licences, location data, photos, payment details, identity documents, and in some cases even criminal and medical data of drivers.

"In Europe, the GDPR protects the fundamental rights of people, by requiring businesses and governments to handle personal data with due care," Aleid Wolfsen, the chairman of the Dutch regulator, said in a statement. "Sadly, this is not self-evident outside Europe. Think of governments that can tap data on a large scale." [...]

Data protection authorities already fined the United States-based company €10 million for several breaches of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) last year.

Caspar Nixon, a spokesperson for Uber, said "this flawed decision and extraordinary fine are completely unjustified." He added that Uber will appeal the decision.

"Uber’s cross-border data transfer process was compliant with GDPR during a 3-year period of immense uncertainty between the EU and U.S.," he said, refering to a period when both bloc's had to revise their so-called adequacy decision that allowed companies to freely transfer data without complex contractual agreements.

The new Data Privacy Framework struck last year ended three years of legal limbo and headache for tech giants.

The Dutch decision "ignores reality," said Alexandre Roure, head of policy for tech industry association CCIA that has Uber as a member. "The busiest internet route in the world could not simply be put on hold for three entire years while governments worked to establish a new legal framework for these data flows."[...]
