Ireland’s Data Protection Commission fined Google €403 million for failing to process location data lawfully and transparently under the GDPR. The case concerns Web & App Activity, Location History, and Android’s Location Accuracy feature, with findings including inadequate disclosures and excessive retention for two services. Google said the practices were historical and that it has since introduced stronger location-data controls, while the regulator ordered compliance changes within six months.
