BRUSSELS: Google Inc. has told European Union data privacy regulators it will cut the amount of time it keeps users' data. Peter Fleischer, Google's global privacy adviser, says the company will cut the time it stores search information from 18 months to nine. Google introduced an 18-month limit in 2007.
Fleischer, speaking to Brussels-based reporters via telephone link Tuesday, said Google would make the change worldwide. An EU report in April on search engines recommended changes to their practices to meet European data retention and privacy rules.
