Google got a fine.

The fine is 403 million euros.

That is about 463 million dollars.

Ireland's Data Protection Commission gave the fine.

The fine is for breaking EU privacy rules.

The rules are about location data.

The regulator said Google did not process location data lawfully.

Google did not process it fairly.

This was in users' Web & App Activity.

It was also in Location History.

Regulators found more problems.

Google was not lawful, fair and clear.

This was about personal data.

It was in the Location Accuracy feature on Android.

Ireland is the lead regulator for Google.

This is in the 27-nation EU.

Google's European headquarters is in Dublin.

The investigation opened six years ago.

It covered the period from 2018.

The EU's General Data Protection Regulation started then.

It covered until February 2020.

Google said the case is about old policies.

Those policies have since been updated.

Google said it has changed its practices since 2019.

It has launched tools.

The tools make managing location data simple.

Regulators said location data is personal data.

Google collects it.

Google can use it to guess someone's location.

Deputy Commissioner Graham Doyle spoke.

He said location data can help people.

It can also harm people.

He said it can improve online services.

But it can also reveal a lot about a person.

This includes private details.

This is the fourth biggest EU privacy fine from the Irish watchdog.

The watchdog has given bigger fines to TikTok and Meta.

The regulator said it still has three other privacy investigations.

These investigations involve Google.
