Italy's privacy watchdog has imposed a €5 million fine on Foodinho for unlawfully processing data of over 35,000 riders, including unauthorized geolocation sharing.
The watchdog mandated that Foodinho alter its app to enable riders to disable tracking when they are not working, emphasizing rider consent and privacy.
This is not Foodinho’s first brush with the law; in 2021, they faced a $3 million penalty for similar data protection violations, highlighting ongoing compliance issues.
Foodinho has also been prohibited from utilizing biometric data such as facial recognition for identity verification, indicating stricter regulation in the industry.
