Ireland’s Data Protection Commission fined Google €403 million for GDPR breaches related to location data collection practices that continued despite users turning off Location History settings. Google has six months to comply with the ruling, which highlights inadequacies in user consent and transparency.

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

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must re-assess how your product gathers and explains location data to avoid costly privacy fines. Clearer user controls and honest consent disclosures are no longer optional but enforced with significant penalties.
