The Google said on Friday (27/07) has not fulfilled its promise to erase all personal data that its Street View service cars collected in England and other countries in 2010.

The U.S. company admitted at the time that their vehicles, which photographed the city for the service, had collected accident data wireless networks considered more than 30 countries.

The non-fulfillment of the promise to delete all information has been notified to the regulator of the sector in England (ICO), which states that the fulfillment of the promise breaks the agreement signed by Google in 2010.

"The ICO was clear that this information should never have been collected in the first place, and that if the company does not delete them as promised, is cause for concern," the organization said.

According to the legal counsel of Google's global privacy, Peter Fleischer, the company apologizes for the error. The search giant also said it was in the process of notification to the competent authorities in other countries.

The ICO told Google that should provide the data immediately so they can be subjected to forensic analysis, before the ICO ruling on the need for the course of action.

RIM on the Brink: now owes more than $ 140 million

 

2012 has been without doubt the worst year for RIM. Not only will your sales are down a lot, but also had to postpone BlackBerry 10-2013 and even had to sell one of its jets . To all this we must add that recently in a court of San Francisco the company was placed in a worse financial situation.
Amar Thakur, Mformation's lawyer, said that the jury found RIM to pay $ 8 for each of the more than 18 million BlackBerry devices that were connected to the Blackberry Enterprise Server. This makes a total sum of no less than $ 147.2 million.
This problem started 4 years ago when Mformation accused RIM of infringing a patent, it seems, is about remotely controlling wireless devices through a wireless network.
RIM still has not opened his mouth, so we will wait to see what state in the coming days.
