Information & Ethics committee  I would add to Mr. Glick's my thanks for the committee's questions, feedback, and interest in this matter. I feel very strongly that we share the goal of making sure that nothing damages the trust of our users and that everyone's data is safe with us.

Information & Ethics committee  No. As I've said, my focus has been on the internal improvements inside Google. It has been our legal and policy teams that have been handling the interactions with data protection authorities in each country.

Information & Ethics committee  To the best of my knowledge--and I would be surprised if my knowledge is not correct--this code was entirely inside Google and was never shared.

Information & Ethics committee  Yes. The way in which--

Information & Ethics committee  We'll be continuing to check for such matters on an ongoing basis.

Information & Ethics committee  The way in which we collect that information does not link it to any personal information. Take me, for example, as a Google user with a Google account. The fact that Google drove by my house and mapped my Wi-Fi has no association with that. There is no data to link those two thi

Information & Ethics committee  I am not aware of any investigations on that point specifically.

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you for that question. I would say it is really a combination of both. We do have local expertise on the ground in as many countries as possible--in fact, in most countries. I spoke to the earlier question from the member about the need to bring in all of these different k

Information & Ethics committee  Very, very much so, and thank you for returning to that point. For us as an international company operating on a global scale, it's certainly tremendously helpful when the world state-of-protection authorities come together and attempt to work out a consensus on how to approach t

Information & Ethics committee  That's correct.

Information & Ethics committee  Yes, and there are a number of points I would make in response to that. The first is that in the collection of basic Wi-Fi access point data in order to provide a geolocation service, which I will explain a little more in a moment, we were not being particularly innovative. We

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you. That's an excellent question. I'm very glad to have a chance to answer it in more detail. What the member said about making sure that you know what you don't know and that you know who to ask is very key to the training and the process improvements we're putting in p

Information & Ethics committee  For newly hired engineers, we expect to give them a significant session of privacy training within their first two weeks at the company, before they would be writing any code, before they would be starting on any product development. With that initial training, we expect to lay a

Information & Ethics committee  I don't believe that has been an issue, but I would like to direct some of that question back to Mr. Glick, as I'm an engineer and not a lawyer, and that's a legal question.

Information & Ethics committee  I don't have the full list available in front of me, I regret. I know we have deleted it in several countries. Ireland, I believe, is one of the ones where we were able to quickly and simply delete it right away.
