Google gets 3 months to comply with EU data privacy rules
2013-06-20 12:22:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) French data protection agency Cnil has given Google three months to align its policies with French private data protection legislation or face fines of EUR 150,000 to 300,000 a day. The formal notice stems from a process started jointly the data protection authorities of the 27 EU member states in October 2012 over Google privacy policy. French regulator Cnil said in April that there had been no signs of change at Google. The UK, Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Spain will begin their own procedures. Changes are sought in several areas, including making information clearer about how personal data is used. Cnil seeks precise information on how long Google keeps data and thinks the company is breaking competition rules in how it gathers information on consumers who do not have a Google account.
