Won’t share data of users with governments without nod, says Google Cloud CEO

BENGALURU: Google is stepping up its user data protection policies, as the Internet giant promises to maintain a strong ground for privacy. The company’s decision to not divulge such information to even governments comes at a time when India and other nations are seeking to impose local rights over crucial user data.

Thomas Kurian, the CEO of Google Cloud, said in an interview at the Google Cloud Next ’19 conference in San Francisco that the company would never access the data of users on the platform or allow governments anywhere to have access to it.
