Following Brexit, Google is planning to move the jurisdiction of UK user profiles out of EU control, to bring them back to the United States. The move, reported exclusively by Reuters on its website, was confirmed by the Californian company, which however denied the possibility of less protection for British users.
"Like many other companies, we need to prepare for Brexit," said a Google spokesman, who assured: "Nothing will change in our services or the way we treat privacy, including how we collect or process data, and how we respond to requests from law enforcement agencies regarding user information. The protections of the Gdpr (the EU regulation on the processing of personal data in force since May 2018, ed.) in the United Kingdom will continue to apply to these users. ".
