A new round of pressure is being exerted on Google by European data protection authorities, according to the BBC.As the network reports, the Privacy Protection Authorities are asking the American search engine to accurately inform users of what personal information has been collected about them.
Google's "dispute" with the Data Protection Authorities of several European countries dates back to March 2012.
At that time, Google announced that it was combining data from both its search engine and the popular video-sharing websites YouTube, Gmail email, and Google Maps.
According to the Data Protection Authorities of a large number of European countries, users were unable to protect their personal data.
However, Google was not found guilty of stealing data. What it was accused of was not disclosing enough information and details about the data stored in its system.
Data protection authorities from Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the UK have launched investigations. In fact, in January, the French Data Protection Authority imposed a fine of 150,000 euros on Google.
