GDPR breach? | Google accused of illegally hoarding job candidates' personal info for years

Google may have broken both UK and EU data laws by holding onto the personal information of job candidates which should have been deleted.

According to reports in Fortune, the tech giant is under investigation from both the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK and Ireland’s Data Protection Commission, following complaints from a whistleblower who alleges that Google’s gHire recruitment system held onto personal details including names, phone numbers, emails, and CVs from applicants in the EU and UK from as far back as 2011.
