France's data protection watchdog has concluded that Google Analytics can't be trusted not to share Europeans' personal data with the US government.
In a statement, the CNIL rules that an unnamed French website should not be allowed to use Google Analytics as it breaches Article 44 of the General Data Protection Regulation .
Sharing European data is only permitted where the other country has privacy laws deemed essentially equivalent to the EU's. However, the US has far lower privacy protections, leaving EU users in the dark about whether their data's being collected, how it's being used and with whom it's being shared. "Although Google has adopted additional measures to regulate data transfers in the context of the Google Analytics functionality, these are not sufficient to exclude the accessibility of this data for US intelligence services," the CNIL says in a"There is therefore a risk for French website users who use this service and whose data is exported."
The manager of the website concerned has been given a month to comply by only sharing anonymous statistical data or"if necessary, to stop using this service under the current conditions". The CNIL says it has also issued similar orders to other website operators in France. It adds that it is also investigating other website audience measurement and analysis tools, and has launched an evaluation programme to determine which could be deemed to comply."
