Uber has been fined 10 million euros by the Dutch Data Protection Authority. More than 170 French drivers raised the alarm with the League for Human and Citizen's Rights.

The company did not clearly state in its privacy policy how long it retains driver data. Uber has now taken steps to improve the situation, and has appealed the decision, according to the AP.. The Dutch privacy regulator on Wednesday imposed a fine of ten million euros on the reservation platform Uber for lacking transparency in the processing of its European drivers' data.
