The UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office have given Google an ultimatum on its private policy. Google has until September 20th 2013 to make several changes to its privacy policy to make it compliant with the UK data protection act.
“In particular, we believe that the updated policy does not provide sufficient information to enable UK users of Google’s services to understand how their data will be used across all of the company’s products” stated the UK’s ICO in their full report.
To amend this lack of compliance Google must:
“amend their privacy policy to make it more informative for individual service users. Failure to take the necessary action to improve the policies compliance with the Data Protection Act by 20 September will leave the company open to the possibility of formal enforcement action.”
