Ireland's Data Protection Commission fined Google €403 million ($463M) for multiple GDPR violations related to processing users' location data across three product features between May 2018 and February 2020, concluding an inquiry that began in early 2020. The DPC also ordered Google to bring its data processing into compliance within six months.
