# Uber: EUR 824,990,000

[Reviewed by Sergio Maldonado Elvira on 29 October 2026](https://dposchool.com/gdpr/about#review)

- **Authority:** Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (Dutch Data Protection Authority)
- **Country:** Netherlands
- **Date:** Announced on 21 August 2026
- **Amount:** EUR 824,990,000, as imposed (not converted)
- **Appeal status:** Under appeal ([source](https://www.autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/en/current/uber-fined-nearly-825-million-euros-for-automated-driver-blocking))
- **Provisions cited:** The authority's published text cites no article numbers.

## What the fine was for (summary, not the official text)

Automatically deactivated drivers' accounts (fraud suspicion, low ratings) with no human review, and did not inform drivers about this automated decision-making (2018 to 2022).

Not fully confirmed: The release refers to the GDPR prohibition of fully automated decision-making but cites no article number; exact legal entity not named in the release. Uber has appealed.
