Penalty for Google in Spain: one has arrived from Madrid fine of 10 million euros for having illegitimately “transferred data to third parties” and for not having respected the citizens’ right to be forgotten: this was announced in a press release from the Privacy Guarantor.
The Spanish press have explained that it is the highest penalty imposed in Spain on the American company: according to the AEPD, Google would have collected the data of the people who filled out the online form to request the non-indexing of the contents that concern them (the right to be forgotten, in fact), by sending them to a database called Lumenwhere they later became public.
In practice, requests to remove content from the web remained available on the web, which it constitutes an infringement of the General Data Protection Regulationaccording to the Spanish Privacy Guarantor.
