South Korean police visited Google office with a check

Yesterday it became known that South Korean police visited Google in Seoul in order to verify information about the illegal collection of personal data of customers and users by the corporation. Suspicion fell on the division of Google, which is responsible for the work of mobile advertising platform AdMob. By the way, the checking documents did not turn over the documents, but they checked the information stored on the computers of the employees. Unfortunately, there is no more or less detailed information on the verification process, but, as we see, South Korean law enforcement officers did not take out all the equipment of the corporation with the aim of “inspecting it in a convenient place at a convenient time in their own office”, as it is practiced in some countries, but checked everything is in place.

The scale of the inspection is also still unknown, since neither the South Korean police, nor representatives of the corporation give any comments on the progress of the audit and its results. It is only known that the management of the AdMob division in South Korea claims that the company did not commit anything illegal.

In January of this year, South Korean police have already verified information about the illegal collection of personal data in the Street View project. The check ended for Google more or less smoothly in all countries that have decided to conduct their own investigation of this situation. Now, Google has a new series of tests.

By the way, not only Google was subjected to inspections of law enforcement agencies of this country - Apple also underwent inspections after it became known that the iPhone and iPad allegedly spy on their users. Representatives of the South Korean authorities immediately became interested in such information, and decided to check everything themselves.
