From March to October 2012, the Article 29 Working Party investigated Google’s privacy policy with the aim of checking whether it met the requirements of the European Data Protection Directive (95/46/CE). In view of the findings of this analysis which was published on 26 October 2012, the EU Data protection authorities asked Google to comply with their recommendations within 4 months Europe’s largest data-protection authorities launched a joint action against Google in April 2013 to force it to remedy alleged breaches of EU privacy rules by the search giant.
