The Dutch Data Protection Authority (DPA) has fined Uber 290 million euros ($324 million) for transferring European drivers' personal data to the United States without adequate protection, which violates the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Uber has contested the fine, arguing that its cross-border data transfer process was compliant with GDPR during a period of legal uncertainty between the European Union and the United States.
