Google fined 400M for data rules
The Data Protection Commission in Ireland has imposed a fine of 403 million euros (461 million dollars) on Google for violating data protection rules related to users' geolocation data between May 2018 and February 2020. The commission confirmed that Google breached the European General Data Protection Regulation by processing location data unlawfully and unfairly within its web activities and applications, with the company using location information for longer than necessary, resulting in users losing control over their data. The company has also been instructed to rectify its policies within six months to ensure compliance.
