The EU fined Google €403 million for violating GDPR rules on the processing of users' location data between 2018 and 2020, requiring the company to comply within six months.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Data & Analytics, and 42 sources have reported it between 21 Sep 2026 and 29 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must act now to ensure your app's location data handling meets EU standards or face steep fines. This enforcement sharpens the costs of complacency on user privacy within European markets.
