On February 6, according to the international report, EU officials sent a letter to Google, asking to suspend the implementation of the new privacy policy before analyzing the impact of the new privacy policy, but Google still did not compromise.

The Financial Times reported on February 3 local time that Jacob Kohnstamm, chairman of the Working Group of Article 29, the EU privacy protection agency, said in a letter sent to Google CEO Larry Page, "We hope to analyze the impact of the new privacy policy on the protection of personal data of European citizens." Article 29 The Working Group has requested the French data protection agency CNIL to be responsible for the investigation.

However, Google did not decide to suspend the implementation of the new privacy policy. Google announced its new privacy policy last week and decided to officially implement it from March 1.

In his reply to Kernstam, Google's privacy counsel Peter Fleischer said that if CNIL asked, the company "is happy to further discuss this issue through the meeting. Before notifying users on January 24, 2012, we had informed the EU data protection regulator of our new privacy policy, and no regulator said that we need to suspend the implementation of the new privacy policy. ".

Fleischer said that the new policy will not affect the privacy settings of existing users. Google will not collect more information from users, but only enable Google to use existing information to provide users with more convenient and better services. The new privacy policy combines more than 60 different policies of Google into one.

Google said in the letter that, according to the existing privacy policy, the company could not integrate the user's online history and the information in the YouTube account. Therefore, users who search for recipes through the search engine could not get YouTube recipe video links in the search results.

Google's new privacy policy has also been questioned by the US Congress.
