Transatlantic Consumer Dialog asks Google to cancel plans

 On March 1, you propose to combine data from all of your services, provided by your users in very different contexts and for very different reasons, into a single profile without user consent and without any meaningful opportunity for users to opt-out. This move has been widely criticized by US lawmakers, US Attorneys General, European lawmakers, European privacy officials, technical experts, and privacy organizations. The President of the  French CNIL, on behalf of European privacy agencies, has said this week that the change will violate European Union data protection law.

         Going forward with this plan will be a mistake. We ask you to reconsider.
