Ola drivers file GDPR lawsuit over algorithmic management and data access

Two ride-hailing drivers are taking Ola to court in Amsterdam, alleging the company violated GDPR data access rights by not providing full personal data, including GPS and ratings information. They argue this hinders their ability to challenge algorithmic decisions, such as a driver who had pay docked after Ola's system incorrectly flagged trips as invalid. The case, supported by the App Drivers & Couriers Union, seeks to compel Ola to comply with data protection law and faces fines for non-compliance. Ola says it has not received notification and complies with all applicable laws.
