The Data Protection Commission of Ireland ordered Google to reform its location tracking practices following an investigation into user privacy. The regulator imposed a €403 million penalty on the company after receiving complaints from European consumer rights groups regarding the processing of location information.

Google has 6 months to bring its data operations into compliance with General Data Protection Regulation rules. Issued Monday, the fine targets the specific methods the tech giant uses to collect and store user location data, requiring a change in how the company manages these privacy controls.
