Google fined $463M by EU for mishandling users' location data under GDPR rules

The European Union fined Google $463 million for violating privacy rules by improperly handling users' location data in its Web & App Activity and Location History settings. Ireland's Data Protection Commission found Google failed to process this data lawfully and transparently, including in the Location Accuracy feature on Android. The investigation covered Google's practices from 2018 to early 2020, before policy updates were made. This is the fourth largest privacy fine by the Irish regulator, which continues to investigate Google on other privacy issues.

Alphabet Inc Class A (GOOGL) shares are trading at USD 356.05, up 1.86% as of Sep 22, 2026 01:01 WIB on Pluang, despite the $463 million fine from the EU for privacy breaches. The stock remains well below its 52-week high of USD 402.62 but above its 52-week low of USD 236.59. Pluang investors show a 64% sell and 36% buy order activity, with a typical hold time of 83 days, indicating mixed sentiment amid ongoing regulatory scrutiny.
