Google - January <strong>2019</strong><br />
In January <strong>2019</strong>, French data protection watchdog, CNIL fined Google the largest GDPR fine to date -<br />
£44 million. This was because Google were found to violate GDPR in two ways. Their data processing<br />
practices were found to be “massive and intrusive”, and it was also found that their data processing wasn’t<br />
transparent enough when it comes to creating a Google account through an Android device. CNIL had<br />
found that when consumers submit a SARs request from Google, information gets “spread across<br />
multiple pages”, making it “not easily accessible for users”.<br />
According to CNIL, when it comes to Google processing data, the purposes of the processing were too<br />
vague and generic, meaning users weren’t able to fully understand them. Alongside this, it was found<br />
that the consent obtained for ad personalisation was not valid.<br />
The Operational Impact of GDPR<br />
It’s expected that “Copycat legislation” will come into force in the next few years in terms of GDPR<br />
regulations - Canada, Singapore, the US, Australia and Brazil are, for example, introducing similar<br />
legislation.<br />
In 2017, cyber attacks on organisations cost the UK economy £10 billion, with seven out of ten companies<br />
falling victim to a cyber-attack or breach. According to the Data Security Confidence Index, 58% of<br />
organisations collect sensitive data via email. Should the sensitive information sent via an unencrypted<br />
email from your business be infiltrated, your business will be found to be in breach of GDPR. With spam<br />
attacks, email spoofing and phishing being prominent forms of cyber crime, it’s never been more<br />
important for you to use email software that’s secure and will protect your business. After all, at every<br />
single part of its journey, an insecure email is at risk<br />
CEOs, managers and business directors need to educate themselves and their employees about the<br />
importance of cyber security, and start putting extra precautions in place, so that they can create a more<br />
GDPR compliant future.<br />
