France's top administrative court upheld a 50 million-euro fine ($56 million) imposed last year on Alphabet's Google for breaching European Union online privacy rules, it said on Friday.
PARIS - France’s top administrative court upheld a 50 million-euro fine imposed last year on Alphabet’s Google for breaching European Union online privacy rules, it said on Friday.
Although representing a tiny fraction of Google’s financial resources, the penalty sent ripples through Silicon Valley and is still the biggest fine imposed for such a breach.“People expect to understand and control how their data is used, and we’ve invested in industry-leading tools that help them do both,” the statement said.
The French regulator CNIL in January last year found the world’s biggest search engine lacked transparency and clarity in the way it informs users about its handling of personal data and failed to properly obtain their consent for personalised ads. It allows users to better control their personal data and gives regulators the power to impose fines of up to 4 percent of global revenue for violations.
