The Irish Data Protection Commission has fined Google €403 million for processing geodata. Reuters reports. The commission said its data protection investigation revealed the company's violations of the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

According to the regulator, in 2018-2020, Google collected and stored data on the location of users, while users may not be aware that this information is used to analyze their interests and advertising. Regulators have ordered Google to bring data processing into compliance with existing requirements within six months.

As noted, this fine is the fourth largest imposed by the Commission, and the total amount that the regulator fined American technology companies, has exceeded €4 billion.
