1 Apr 2026 MLU B.V. (Rechtsnachfolgerin der Ridetech International B.V., Anbieterin der Yango-App)Yango taxi app: 100 million EUR for transferring data to Russia NetherlandsInternational data transfers €100m

Amsterdam-based Ridetech offered the ride-hailing app Yango in Finland and Norway and transferred data of drivers and customers to the group companies Yandex.Taxi LLC and Yandex LLC in Russia without demonstrating appropriate safeguards. The Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (Dutch Data Protection Authority, AP) imposed 100 million EUR on the legal successor and prohibited further transfers to Russia.

What organisations can take from it

Transfers to states without legal protection against access by authorities can hardly be safeguarded – group structures with such locations need data localisation in the EU.

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.

20 Mar 2024 Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij N.V. (KLM)Amsterdam District Court: KLM advertising on sustainable flying misleading NetherlandsMisleading environmental and sustainability claims Other

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).

What organisations can take from it

Offsetting and SAF offerings must not create the impression of climate-neutral travel; associations can challenge such claims in court.
