European Officials Question Google's Privacy Policy

The European Union's data protection advisory group sent a letter to Google this month asking why the company keeps records of user searches for up to two years.

Peter Fleischer, Google's global privacy counsel, said the company was doing a lot to protect personal data gathered from users on its search engine.

"We believe it's an important part of our commitment to respect user privacy while balancing a number of important factors, such as maintaining security and preventing fraud and abuse," Fleischer said. He added that Google was "committed to engaging in a constructive dialogue."
