Today it became known that in Europe they are not very happy with the new policy of Google for working with user data. European regulators even turned to the company for clarification. An official letter was sent to Google addressed to the current CEO Larry Page, in which regulators regret the rapid change in corporate policies.
Earlier, the Europeans asked Google to postpone the introduction of new rules, since some of them are contrary to European legislation. It is clear that now will follow a large-scale trial - most likely it will happen after Google responds to the official letter. True, if the answers of the company satisfy the Europeans, then the proceedings may not be. It is worth noting that the letter contains as many as 69 questions, and the corporation must answer until April 5. In the interests of the European Commission acts the French National Commission on Information Technology and Citizens' Rights (CNIL). This body is currently conducting trials on this issue.

At the moment, some of the new rules of Google are in conflict with the provisions of the European law of the European Data Protection Directive. There are also concerns that the corporation will be able to track the data of each user. It is very similar to the fact that now the Europeans are preparing for a protracted process in which lawmakers will figure out who is right and who is to blame.
As for Google, the company representatives promised to answer all the questions on time. In addition, management announced the full transparency of the corporation’s policy on user data. At Google, they do not doubt that the new policy of the corporation complies with all the necessary laws of the European Union.
