Google to pay $57 Million GDPR Fine in France

-



The French Supreme Court of Administrative Law rejected Google’s claim that it had to pay a $57 million fine last year for failing to tell its users how to handle their personal information. On June 19, the French State Council officially released the trial results, confirming the previous investigation results of the data regulator CNIL, that Google did not provide Android users with “clear enough” information reminders. This means that it did not have lawful consent to use user data for specific advertising. Considering the seriousness and continuity of Google’s violations, the $57 million fine is also justified.
More importantly, the court also confirmed the French national regulatory authority’s jurisdiction over Google. Based on the GDPR regulations, the multi-million-dollar fines faced by Google are by far the highest fines against technology giants. This incident will also have a certain symbolic significance, mainly for those who think whether the GDPR can play the role.

This penalty seems insignificant relative to the global revenue of Google’s parent company Alphabet. Nevertheless, Google will make corresponding adjustments in the future. It will work on how to collect user data and its advertising positioning bottom line.
