The UK Information Commissioner’s Office said in a statement it fined Marriott £18.4 million ($23.5 million, 20.1 million euros) for breaches of data that included personal information such as passport numbers since March 2018.

The final penalty is far less than a figure of around £100 million originally planned by the ICO.
