A Google document has come to light, exposing a series of high-profile leaks that have permeated across media, gaming, and data protection.<\/p>\n
The internal Google database obtained by 404 Media<\/a> shows the depth of these data breaches. Google was in the wrong for \u201crecording children\u2019s voices, saving license plates from Street View, and many other self-reported incidents, large and small,\u201d to name a few of the serious violations of data policy.<\/p>\n The news outlet says the database spans six years of recording, and it paints the world\u2019s biggest search engine in a pretty dark light.<\/p>\n The database logs internal reports on data breaches and personal and corporate data mismanagement<\/a>. 404 says, \u201cinternal database shows how one of the most powerful and important companies in the world manages, and often mismanages, a staggering amount of personal, sensitive data on people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n One incident involved Google<\/a> Street View recording license plate data while scouring the streets with digital image capture. \u201cUnfortunately, the contents of license plates are also text and, apparently, have been transcribed in many cases,\u201d said the reporting employee. \u201cAs a result, our database of objects detected from Street View now inadvertently contains a database of geolocated license plate numbers and license plate number fragments.\u201d<\/p>\n Some other notable issues at the highest priority level included:<\/p>\n Google<\/a> confirmed the contents obtained by the news provider and, in a statement, said that employees report and escalate issues depending on priority to the reviewing party. Even going as far to say that all of the issues, \u201cevery one was reviewed and resolved at that time. In some cases, these employee flags turned out not to be issues at all or were issues that employees found in third party services.\u201d<\/p>\nGoogle privacy breaches<\/h2>\n
