Google Inc. was fined 150,000 euros ($203,500) by France’s data protection watchdog for failing to give people enough details about how and why it uses their personal data.
Google also fails to say how long it stores the data it processes and combines “all the data it collects about its users across all of its services without any legal basis,” France’s National Commission for Computing and Civil Liberties, or CNIL, said in a statement on its website today.
