CNIL, France’sย data protection authority, has slapped Google with aย โ‚ฌ150,000 ($204,000) fine for violating European privacy laws. While $200,000 is nothing to Google, it’s still the largest fine thatย CNIL has ever levied.ย The regulator also ordered Google to put a notice on google.fr ย about the decision.

The French data protection authority CNIL has fined Google โ‚ฌ150,000 ($204,000) over its unified privacy policy, whichย regulators believe violates European privacy law. The EU data protection authorities are coordinating their anti-Google efforts โ€“ Spain became the first toย levy a fineย last month, relieving the company of $1.2 million.ย In aย statementย on Wednesday, CNIL said Googleโ€™s merging of its various servicesโ€™ privacy policies into a unified policy was in itself legal, but the way in which it implemented that unified policy was not legal.
