France Slaps $57 mn Fine on Google for GDPR Violations
January 24, 2019
Using its new powers under the General Data Protection Rules (GDPR), France slapped a hefty fine of 56.8 million USD on Google, which is way higher than what it has ever received in the past from the EU nation.
France’s data authority CNIL said that it has identified two types of violations of the EU law – processing user data for personalized advertisements despite having no legal basis, and lack of transparency.
Google has been fined by CNIL many times in the past but it has never been more than 150,000 Euros. However, the new and more stringent European Union data protection rules allow the appropriate agencies and governments to levy much higher fines.
