Sweden’s Data Protection Authority has fined internet giant Google 75 million Swedish Kroner (U.S. $7.6 million) for its failure to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
It is Google’s second fine to date under Europe’s strict data privacy rules (it received a €50 million (U.S. $56 million) fine from the French Data Protection Authority in January 2019), and it’s the ninth highest penalty handed out to a company since the GDPR took effect in May 2018, according to the GDPR Enforcement Tracker.
