Business Standard Amazon likely to see $425 million EU privacy fine, says report
Amazon.com Inc could be fined more than $425 million under the European Union's privacy law, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. Luxembourg's data-protection commission, CNPD, has circulated a draft decision and proposed a fine highlighting Amazon's privacy practices among the bloc's 26 national dataprotection authorities, the report said. The case relates to Amazon's collection and use of individuals' personal data and violations under EU's landmark data privacy rules known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a source told the Journal.
