BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - European data privacy regulators confirmed Thursday that Internet search engines based outside Europe must also comply with EU rules on how a person's Internet address or search history is stored.
Rules that insist someone must consent to their data being collected and give a person the right to object or verify their information apply to search engines, the regulators' group said in a short statement as they prepare a full report due by April.
And they apply to companies "who have their headquarters outside the EU, but only an establishment in one of the EU member states, or who use automated equipment based in one of the member states for the purposes of processing personal data."
