欧盟数据隐私监管机构于周一宣布，谷歌因对用户位置数据的不当处理而违反了欧盟严格的隐私法规，被处以4.03亿欧元（4.63亿美元）的罚款。

Google has been levied a €403 million ($463 million) fine for contravening the European Union’s stringent privacy regulations through its mishandling of users’ location data, the bloc’s data privacy watchdog announced Monday.

爱尔兰数据保护委员会宣布，其调查认定谷歌对位置数据的处理既不合法也不公平——无论这些数据来自用户的“网络与应用活动记录”（一项追踪浏览和搜索历史的谷歌设置），还是来自其“位置历史记录”（一项通过移动电话绘制用户曾到访地点的服务）。

Ireland’s Data Protection Commission announced that its investigation had determined that Google had neither lawfully nor fairly processed location data—whether in users’ Web & App Activity, a Google setting that tracks browsing and search history, or in their Location History, a service that maps, via their mobile phones, the places they have been.

监管机构进一步认定，该公司在安卓移动操作系统的位置精确度功能中处理个人数据时，未能满足合法性、公平性和透明度的要求。

Regulators further determined that the company had failed to satisfy the requirements of lawfulness, fairness and transparency in its processing of personal data within the Location Accuracy feature of the Android mobile operating system.

爱尔兰在由27个成员国组成的欧盟中担任谷歌的主要监管机构，这一角色源于这家美国科技巨头的欧洲总部设在都柏林这一情况。

Ireland serves as Google's lead regulator across the 27-nation EU, a role occasioned by the circumstance that the U.S. tech giant's European headquarters is situated in Dublin.

这项调查于六年前启动，仔细审查了谷歌自2018年《通用数据保护条例》生效起至2020年2月期间是如何适用这部欧盟隐私规则手册的。

The investigation, launched six years prior, scrutinised how Google had applied the EU privacy rule book — the General Data Protection Regulation — from its entry into force in 2018 until February 2020.

“本案的核心在于那些此后已被更新的历史政策，”谷歌在一份声明中表示。

"This case centers around historical policies that have since been updated," Google said in a statement.

“自2019年起，我们已对自身做法进行了重大改进，并推出了强大的工具，使位置数据的管理变得轻而易举。”

"From 2019 onwards, we've significantly evolved our practices and launched robust tools that render the management of location data effortless."

监管机构断言，位置数据构成了谷歌所收集的一类个人数据，此类数据可能被用来推断个人的行踪。

Regulators asserted that location data constitutes a category of personal data amassed by Google, which may be leveraged to infer an individual's whereabouts.

“位置数据既能为个人带来益处，也能造成损害，”副专员格雷厄姆·多伊尔表示。

"Location data can confer both benefits and harms upon individuals," Deputy Commissioner Graham Doyle said.

“它能大幅提升在线服务的效用，但同样也能泄露关于个人的大量信息，其中包含本质上属于隐私的信息。”

"It can substantially augment the utility of online services, yet it can equally divulge a considerable trove of information about an individual, encompassing information that is inherently private."

这是爱尔兰监管机构迄今开出的欧盟隐私罚单中金额第四高的一笔；该机构此前曾对TikTok和Meta处以更重的罚款，其中包括对Meta开出的12亿欧元罚单。

It constitutes the fourth most substantial EU privacy fine ever levied by the Irish watchdog, which has on prior occasions imposed heftier penalties upon TikTok and Meta, among them a 1.2 billion euro fine against Meta.
