French data protection authority fines Google EUR 150,000

2014-01-09 07:31:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) French data protection agency CNIL has fined Google EUR 150,000 upon considering that the privacy policy implemented by the company since 1 March 2012 does not comply with the country's data protection act. CNIL also has ordered Google to publish a statement on the decision at the Google.fr homepage by 11 January. In its decision, CNIL's sanctions committee said that the data processed by the company about the users of its services in France must be qualified as personal data. It also judged that French law applies to the processing of personal data relating to internet users established in France, contrary to the company's claim. Its conclusions are similar to those made by the Dutch and Spanish data protection authorities in November and December 2013 on the basis of their respective national laws.
