The Netherlands DPA has fined CP&A, an unnamed orthodontic clinic, Transavia, a local political party, the municipality of Enschede, Booking.com B.V. (yes, Booking.com is Dutch), OLVG (a hospital), a redacted data trader, the Dutch national tennis association, an insurance company, another hospital, a semi-governmental organisation and 7 governmental bodies.
Some of these do business in foreign countries, but all of them are unmistakably Dutch.
I've left out the largest news organisation in the Netherlands, the Belgian company BPG Media, but they have bought up a bunch of local news organisations.
Non-EU-originating companies on the list:
- Tiktok
- locatefamily.com
Tiktok got fined by the Dutch DPA for not providing their privacy statement in Dutch while still doing business in the Netherlands. Further research into Tiktok was transferred to the Irish DPA (this fine). I suppose the Dutch DPA could've lodged a complaint with the Irish DPA for not providing the necessary documents in Dutch, but that seems rather silly to me.
locatefamily.com did not have EU representation at all so there was no need to process the complaint anywhere else. I doubt the fine will ever be collected, but who knows, maybe the owners are stupid enough to open a business in Europe somewhere down the line.
