EU fines Google $462M for data breach
The Irish Data Protection Authority imposed a fine of $462 million on Google for violating rules regarding the protection of users' geolocation data from May 2018 to February 2020. The authority confirmed that Google failed to handle location data in a lawful and fair manner and retained user data for longer than necessary, resulting in a loss of control over that data. The authority demanded that the company bring its operations into compliance with the regulations within six months, while Google stated that it has improved its policies and introduced new tools for managing location data since 2019.
