The Dutch DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 2,700,000 on Experian Nederland B.V. The controller, a company that determines individuals' creditworthiness and sells this information, processed personal data without a sufficient legal basis. The controller also failed to inform data subjects about the processing of their data. Following the decision, the company decided to stop its activities in the Netherlands and will delete its database by the end of the year.
