Sanction for **Google** in Spain: a **10 million euro** fine has arrived from Madrid for having "*transferred data to third parties*" in an illegitimate manner and for not respecting citizens' so-called **right to be forgotten**: this was announced in a statement by the Privacy Supervisory Authority (AEPD).
Spanish press organs explained that this is the highest penalty imposed on the U.S. company in Spain: according to the AEPD, Google allegedly collected data from people who filled out the online form to request that their content not be indexed (the right to be forgotten, precisely), sending it to a database called **Lumen**, where it then became public.
