Google won't delay new privacy policy despite EU concerns


Europe's data protection watchdog wants more time to investigte the Internet giant's policy change

Google does not plan to delay its new privacy policy despite calls from Europe's data protection watchdog.

The Article 29 Working Party (A29 WP), made up of the data regulators from all European Union member states as well as the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS), sent a letter to Google saying that the Internet giant should "pause" before going ahead with the planned changes to its privacy policy. In January Google announced that it would "simplify" its privacy regulations as of March 1. This would create a single privacy policy for all its services including YouTube, Gmail and Google+.
