The Dutch privacy watchdog said it has fined Uber Technologies (UBER) 290 million euros ($324 million) for allegedly transferring the personal data of European taxi drivers to the U.S. without adequate safeguards.
The Dutch Data Protection Authority, or DPA, said the ride-hailing giant breached the European Union (EU)'s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by sending "sensitive information of drivers from Europe and retained it on servers in the US."
The fine reportedly is a record for Uber, which is appealing the second of two other penalties from the Dutch regulator.
The fine stemmed from complaints from 170 French Uber drivers, but the Dutch regulator issued the fine because Uber's European headquarters is in the Netherlands.
In a statement to , Uber said it will appeal, calling the Dutch decision "flawed" and "completely unjustified."
The Dutch DPA said among sensitive information Uber had collected and kept on its U.S. servers were "account details and taxi licences, but also location data, photos, payment details, identity documents, and in some cases even criminal and medical data of drivers."
The regulator added that "Uber has ended the violation."
Uber shares slipped less than 1% to $73.80 soon after the opening bell Monday. They are up about 20% this year.

American depositary receipts (ADRs) of Chinese e-commerce company PDD Holdings (PDD) are plunging in premarket trading Monday after the parent of discount marketplace Temu reported second-quarter sales of 97.06 billion yuan ($13.63 billion), below consensus estimates of analysts polled by Visible Alpha.
"While encouraged by the solid progress we made in the past few quarters, we see many challenges ahead," PDD chairman and co-CEO Lei Chen said.
"Looking ahead, revenue growth will inevitably face pressure due to intensified competition and external challenges," PDD vice president of finance Jun Liu said. "Profitability will also likely to be impacted as we continue to invest resolutely."
Rival Alibaba (BABA) also reported quarterly earnings that missed analysts' estimates earlier this month as the online retailers struggle with a weak Chinese economy and amid reports that Amazon (AMZN) has begun pitching Chinese suppliers on a new section of its website that would sell low-cost clothes and home goods to U.S. consumers directly from China.
PDD ADRs plummeted about 17% at $115.88 an hour before the opening bell Monday. They had fallen 4% on the year through Friday's close.
