16 Oct 2025 Experian Nederland B.V.AP: €2.7m fine for Experian Nederland over credit data processed without legal basis NetherlandsData subject rights and transparency €2.7m

For its Credit Check service, offered until the end of 2024, Experian Nederland B.V. processed data on consumers' creditworthiness without being able to rely validly on legitimate interest, and did not inform the individuals concerned sufficiently. In the objection procedure the AP (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, Dutch data protection authority) revoked its original fining decision of 6 December 2023 and set a new fine of 2,700,000 EUR; Experian admitted both infringements.

What organisations can take from it

Anyone collecting credit data on people they have never contacted directly must properly substantiate their legitimate interest and actively inform those concerned.
