Google Inc., owner of the world’s most-popular search engine, was asked to “pause” changes to its privacy policy in Europe during an examination by France’s data-protection agency.
France’s National Commission for Computing and Civil Liberties, known as CNIL, will “check the possible consequences for the protection of the personal data” of Europeans that may come with Google’s planned changes, said Jacob Kohnstamm, the chairman of the Article 29 Working Party, a group of European Union data-protection regulators.
