The watchdog said that Amazons processing of personal data did not comply with the EUGeneral Data Protection Regulation.
The authority is also asking for undisclosed practice revisions.

We strongly disagree with the CNPDs ruling, and we intend to appeal.

The eye-popping sum still wouldnt be a huge dent in the coffers of Amazon.
The e-commerce giant just posted itsthird $100 billion quarter in a row.
