Google files declaration with Brussels for Privacy Commission
According to Belgium newspaper ‘De Standaard‘ Google will soon file a declaration to the Belgium Privacy Commission to continue their Street View project in Belgium. Google thought at first it would not be necessary to file a declaration because of existing certificates that made their datasharing between EU and US possible.
A statement from the privacy commission says:
“Our privacy laws tell us that also foreign establishments that process personal information in an automated way need to declare this with the privacy commission. “
By filing they also declare that the imagery can solely be used for the purpose of Google Street View. Brussel will be the first city in Belgium to get Street View. But other cities will follow shortly after. It will take a couple of months however before Street View will be available in Belgium.
