欧盟爱尔兰数据保护委员会9月21日裁决谷歌违反《一般数据保护条例》，对其处以4.03亿欧元罚款1。违规行为发生在2018年5月至2020年2月期间，谷歌在处理用户网络与应用活动记录、定位记录时未能充分保护用户定位数据，导致这些数据可被用于广告投放和用户喜好推断，且保存时间过长1。该处罚涉及《一般数据保护条例》关于合法、公平、透明原则的违反1。
根据裁决，谷歌需在6个月内完成整改1。谷歌已表示自2019年起改进了相关做法1。同类案例包括Meta被罚12亿欧元、亚马逊被罚7.46亿欧元1。
Ireland's Data Protection Commission ruled on September 21 that Google violated the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), imposing a fine of 403 million euros 1. The regulator found that Google failed to adequately protect users' location data between May 2018 and February 2020, allowing the data to be used for targeted advertising and user preference inference, and retained it longer than necessary 1.
The violation concerned Google's handling of user web and app activity records as well as location records, which breached the GDPR's principles of lawfulness, fairness, and transparency 1. Google must complete remedial measures within six months 1. The company stated it has improved its practices since 2019 1.
Under the GDPR framework, lighter violations carry fines of up to 10 million euros or 2 percent of global annual revenue, while more serious breaches can result in fines of up to 20 million euros or 4 percent of global annual revenue 1. Other major technology companies have faced comparable sanctions, including Meta's 1.2 billion euro fine and Amazon's 746 million euro penalty 1.
