DSB upholds complaint against Google LLC as joint controller

DSB rejected Google's artificial separation of controllership. For all Google services in the EEA, Google Ireland Ltd and Google LLC are joint controllers. Google LLC partially violated data subject's right of access.

Notification by DSB

I) DSB sent new protocol. DSB followed our remarks.
II) Access to the new documents cannot be granted yet, as Google LLC hasn't provided them yet and the DSB is also contemplating asking for additional documents. After receiving all documents, the DSB will assess exemptions under § 17(3) AVG.
