Citat:Under pressure from a European Union working group, Google has agreed to cut its data retention times by a quarter, from two years to 18 months.Article 29 had expressed concerns that Google’s old policy might have been breaking European privacy laws.

So what is the data in question? Each time you make a Google search, the company retains the query, the IP address from which the search came, as well as other information, such as which browser was used. Google has argued that this information is vital for it to improve it services, fight malicious attacks from spam to hacking, and enable it to comply with requests from law enforcement. It had been retaining that information for two years before it’s made anonymous – no longer associated with an individual.

Last month, the Article 29 group, working under the auspices of the European Union, gave Google a month to respond to its privacy law concerns. In its reply, Google asserted that it was committed to data protection principles. The company’s global privacy counsel, Peter Fleischer, wrote:

“After considering the working party's concerns, we are announcing a new policy: to anonymize our search server logs after 18 months, rather than the previously-established period of 18 to 24 months.”

Although the company admitted it could work with this shorter period of data retention, it said it would be impossible to be effective with any retention period of less than 18 months.

This isn’t necessarily the end of the story, however. The Article 29 group is meeting on June 20 and 21, during which time it will study Google’s response.

Pa ne vidim nista sporno u tome sto proveravaju IP, tacnije odakle dolazi upit kao i browser, Os i sl. Mislim da im to najvise sluzi samo radi statistike, i odredjivanja u kom smeru ce nastaviti svoj razvoj.
