Apple Inc. and Sony Corp. face “possible action” by data protection regulators in the European Union over possible privacy lapses by the storing of iPhone location data and the hacking of the PlayStation Network.
A group of data protection officials from the 27-nation EU, which guides the work of national authorities across Europe that have the power to levy penalties for non-compliance, said they have “taken note” of the reports on the collection and storage of location data on Apple’s iPhones and the leak of personal information from the Sony PlayStation Network.
