Who was sanctioned, and for what?

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.

The car rental company charged customers an "administration fee" of 33.88 to 45 EUR when a rental car incurred a traffic offence – even though naming the driver is a statutory obligation of the rental company.

Customers who ordered, for example, mail forwarding automatically received an electronic OmaPosti mailbox that could not be deselected separately; they were also informed insufficiently and in part incorrectly about the activation. The sanctions board of the Tietosuojavaltuutetun toimisto (Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman) found no contractual legal basis for this bundling and imposed 2.4 million EUR together with a reprimand and an order to rectify the situation. On 3 November 2025 the Helsinki Administrative Court upheld the reprimand and the order on account of the insufficient information but annulled the fine, as it considered the processing necessary for the contract on Posti’s electronic services.

In a collective action brought by the Fossielvrij foundation, the Amsterdam District Court (Rechtbank Amsterdam) found that 15 KLM advertising claims were misleading and unlawful: they suggested sustainable flying or that offsetting products actually compensate for the climate impact, although biofuels and reforestation reduce it only marginally. KLM bears the costs of the proceedings; further claims were dismissed (ECLI:NL:RBAMS:2024:1512).
