Digital Marketing
Agency, Google
was fined $18.7M
by the Netherlands for failing to
update its privacy policy in Europe with the problem coming about after Google created
a new single privacy policy in 2012
covering 60 of its products.
Jacob Kohnstamm, chairman of the
Dutch Data Protection Authority (DPA), said: "Google catches us in an
invisible web of our personal data without telling us and without asking us for
our consent. This has been ongoing since 2012 and we hope our patience will no
longer be tested."
According to Al Verney, a Brussels-based
Google spokesperson, "We’re disappointed with the Dutch DPA’s order,
especially as we’ve already made a number of changes to our privacy policy in
response to their concerns."
