Google picks up EC regulatory issues
Interesting to see an awareness of developments in European privacy law in a presentation from Google at the UCISA Management Conference.
Google have established a "Data Liberation Front" engineering team dedicated to making it easy to both import and export data from their services. This may well align with the Commission's demand that a right to move data between providers be created in the revised Data Protection Directive.
Google are already registered under the US Safe Harbor scheme and reported that they are continuously revising their terms and conditions to ensure they meet the requirements of customers in Europe, so they are clearly aware of concerns here about ensuring that international transfers of personal data do comply with the Directive and UK law.
