Cyber-Ark, the digital vaulting specialist, has cautioned against companies feeling confident about their data flowing over the Internet, after the European Union announced it is investigating Google for retailing data on its Internet search systems for too long.
The EU's Article 29 working party - a group of officials that advises on privacy policy - has today asked Google to justify the fact it keeps data on people's Internet searches for up to two years. Calum Macleod, European Director for Cyber-Ark, said that, whilst the EU's investigation into Google's data retention practices is laudable, the global nature of the Internet makes it impossible to know exactly where and for how long data is being archived.
