The Article 29 Working Party invited the CNIL to take the lead in the analysis of Google’s new privacy policy. Preliminary findings show that Google’s new policy fails to meet the requirements of the European Data Protection Directive (95/46/CE) regarding the information that must be provided to data subjects. Moreover, the CNIL and the EU data protection authorities are deeply concerned about the combination of data across services and will continue their investigations with Google’s representatives. The CNIL reiterated its request to Google to postpone the application of the new policy, on behalf of the Article 29 Working Party.
