The EU suspects Google's data security

Google can store the information that users search for up to 2 years. Theoretically, every time you search for information, if the user wants to find the relevant information in another website, he must go back to the top of Google.

But now, European Union (EU) experts are questioning that. In the United States, a lawsuit related to this issue is ongoing. This group will have to give reasonable excuses for them.

Google stores IP addresses based on the information that users want to search, by typing related keywords. IP addresses are completely secure without any time limit. Last week, the group first announced a change in storage time, whereby IP addresses were only stored for a maximum of 1 to 2 years.

A group of EU experts is now asking this group to give a reasonable explanation for that. Because Google may have violated EU data protection laws. In a letter to Google, the expert group said that the group violated Article 29 of the Law on Data Protection. The expert group is Mr. Peter Schaar, who is assigned to manage this issue.

The US consumer protection organization also asked the Federal Trade Commission FTC to conduct a review of Google's attitude towards data protection.

Currently Google still excuses for storing data of users. Peter Fleischer, an expert of the group, said, 'For safety reasons, the data is still needed to improve search engines.' However, Google still decides that the information that users search will no longer be available after 18 to 24 months.

"The EU wants to ensure, a company can only keep search information on Google as long as they need, but it cannot be longer than necessary ," Fleischer said. ' As of June 19, 2007, Google will provide an appropriate answer to the EU data security experts ' group, he is certain.
