26 Nov 2024 Netflix International B.V.AP: 4.75 million EUR against Netflix over insufficient privacy information NetherlandsData subject rights and transparency €4.75m

Between 2018 and 2020, Netflix did not adequately inform customers about what happens to their data, and the information available was partly unclear. The Dutch supervisory authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, AP) imposed 4.75 million EUR; Netflix has since revised its privacy statement.

What organisations can take from it

Privacy notices must be complete and comprehensible – and responses to customer requests must also be specific rather than generic.
