The Dutch privacy watchdog has fined Enschede local council for tracking its residents using their mobile phones to keep an eye on how busy parts of the city centre are.
In total, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens has fined the council €600,000 for using wifi tracking which could be traced back to individuals. This, the watchdog said, put the council in serious violation of European privacy laws.
