Us e-commerce giant Amazon.Com Inc formally appealed to the Luxembourg Administrative Court on July 15 after he was heavily fined 746 million euros for violating EU data protection regulations, CCTV News reported Monday.
A spokesman for the Luxembourg judiciary confirmed the news to the media on the same day. Since Amazon.Com Inc has its European headquarters in Luxembourg, the Luxembourg authorities are currently responsible for supervising Amazon.Com Inc's data protection in the EU market.
In mid-July this year, the National data Protection Commission of Luxembourg ruled that Amazon.Com Inc failed to protect user data and violated the EU General data Protection regulations (GDPR). As a result, Amazon.Com Inc was fined 746 million euros, the heaviest fine ever imposed by the European Union on a company that violates the General data Protection regulations.
