22 Jul 2024 Uber Technologies Inc. und Uber B.V.Uber: 290 million EUR – driver data sent to the USA for two years without a transfer tool NetherlandsInternational data transfers €290m

Uber stored sensitive data of European drivers – including location, payment and identity document data, and in some cases criminal and health data – on servers in the USA and from August 2021 no longer used any transfer tool. Following complaints from more than 170 French drivers, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (Dutch Data Protection Authority, AP) imposed 290 million EUR; it was the AP’s third fine against Uber.

What organisations can take from it

Intra-group transfers to headquarters are third-country transfers – anyone who lets a transfer tool lapse transfers data without a legal basis.
