Dutch DPA fines Netflix €4.75 million for inadequate data‑subject information

The Dutch Data Protection Authority issued a decision imposing a €4.75 million fine on Netflix for not adequately informing customers about its data processing. The authority found Netflix failed to provide clear information and a full copy of the complainant’s data in response to access requests. Netflix has objected to the fine but has not yet appealed.

Why it matters: The enforcement action underscores the GDPR’s strict requirements for transparency and data‑subject access rights.
