Technology giant Google has just been slapped with a $1.23 million fine (900,000 Euros) by Spain’s privacy watchdog, where they have been deemed to have broken Spain’s data protection law after merging personal information from its various online services while not informing in a clear and precise manner on how Google will be making use of such data. Of course, $1.23 million is definitely a drop in the bucket for Google considering how they currently boast of a market capitalisation of more than $350 billion. Still, this does show how there are concerns across the Old World about the amount of personal data which is being held in foreign jurisdictions in what is better known as “cloud” storage services.
