On August 9, the Dutch DPA
fined a Dutch bank €48,000 for its failure to comply with
a data access request from one of its customers (source document in
Dutch). The customer made the initial request in 2016 and filed an
enforcement request with the DPA when the bank failed to comply.
The DPA granted the bank two months to comply, warning that the
bank would receive an administrative penalty of €12,000 for
each week that it failed to comply. The bank provided the requested
information at the end of the two-month period, resulting in
€48,000 in penalties, which the bank appealed.
