Google’s latest agreement with a European privacy regulator includes
spot checks at its U.S. headquarters to monitor how the Internet giant
is complying with an order to improve its privacy policy, add new
opt-outs for targeted advertising, and disclose how long it keeps users’
data.
The Italian data-privacy authority Friday outlined a process for
Google to comply with the country’s privacy laws and an order imposed on
the company in July. Google has until Jan. 15, 2016 to comply.
A spokesman for the Italian authority said this is the first time in
Europe that Google will be subject to regular checks to monitor
progress. The regulator will get quarterly updates from Google and the
ability to send a privacy officer for “on-the-spot checks” at Google’s
Mountain View, Calif., offices. The regulator hasn’t decided yet how
often it will visit the campus, the spokesman said.
