Google, amendă pentru cum gestionează locația utilizatorilor

Google has been fined €403 million by the Irish data protection authority for violating GDPR rules regarding user location data. The fine is linked to how Google collected and used this information, marking the fourth largest penalty from the Irish authority. The investigation began in 2020 after consumer organizations raised concerns about Google's transparency in data usage. The authority found multiple GDPR violations related to various Google features. Google claims it has improved its practices since 2019, offering users better control over their location data. The European Consumer Organization welcomed the fine but criticized the lengthy investigation process.
