Google faces probes over data it collected: report
By
Google Inc could face inquiries from German and U.S. officials following the company’s disclosure it had “mistakenly” collected sensitive data sent by consumers over wireless networks, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
Google said on Friday its fleets of cars responsible for photographing streets around the world had for several years accidentally collected personal information — which a security expert said could include email messages and passwords. Peter Schaar, German commissioner for data protection, said the Internet giant’s explanation was “highly unusual” and called for a “detailed probe” into the practice, the FT reported.
