The Irish Data Protection Commission fined Google €403 million for unlawful processing of users' location data, ruling that retroactive technical fixes do not absolve past GDPR breaches. Google must delete historic location data, overhaul its data handling, and submit a compliance plan.

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

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must treat your historic location data as a fresh liability and urgently audit legacy datasets or risk fines like Google’s €403 million penalty. This ruling makes retroactive fixes useless as a defence, so update your consent processes immediately.
