The Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens imposed an administrative fine of €824,990,000 on Uber for violating GDPR Article 22 by automatically deactivating drivers’ accounts and for failing to provide sufficient information under Article 13. The violations concerned incidents between 2018 and 2022 and Uber has since stopped the practices.
