The Irish Data Protection Commission issued its final decision on 21 September 2026, imposing administrative fines of €403 million on Google Ireland Limited. The DPC found infringements of GDPR principles relating to lawfulness, fairness, transparency, accountability and data retention in Google's location‑data features. Google was ordered to bring its processing into compliance within six months.
Why it matters: The fine underscores strict enforcement of GDPR obligations for large tech firms handling location data.
