The American shopping giant disclosed in a financial filing on Friday that it had been rapped by the National Commission for Data Protection (CNPD) on July 16 for illegally processing personal data, and told to change some of its business practice. Amazon has been fined 746m euros (£636m) by Luxembourg's privacy watchdog for breaching GDPR, the highest penalty ever imposed under the law.
