Privacy Issues with Google's Stored Internet Queries

European proponents of internet privacy have targeted Google over the length of time online consumer queries are stored.

Google's privacy counsel claims that the company complies with data protection regulations deleting internet search records every two years.

Data protection experts in the European Union are preparing to formally write Google with their claims of privacy infringement.

Google's 3.1 billion dollar acquisition of DoubleClick also raised concerns that the company will have "too much control in the Internet advertising market."
