The Dutch Data Protection Authority (DPA) fined Netflix €4.75 million for failing to adequately inform users about data usage, violating GDPR requirements.
An investigation revealed Netflix did not provide clear information about data collection and sharing, including email addresses, payment details, and viewing habits.
The DPA criticized Netflix for not clarifying the purpose of data collection and the retention period, alongside concerns about third-party data sharing.
Austrian privacy group none of Your Business expressed its satisfaction with the ruling, emphasizing Netflix's failure to adequately respond to data requests.
