CITYSCOOT

תיאור

The French DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 125,000 on CITYSCOOT, a company that rents out motor scooters for short periods. During its investigation, the DPA found that CITYSCOOT, was collecting vehicle geolocation data every 30 seconds while renting a scooter, as well as, storing the history of the trips. The company had stated that it collected the data for purposes such as handling traffic violations, complaint inquiries, assisting users in the event of a crash, and handling theft cases. However, the DPA found that none of these purposes justified such permanent geolocation of data subjects, and that the company had thus violated the principle of data minimization. In addition, the DPA found that the contracts concluded by the company with its processors did not contain all the required information.
