Google will have to display on its French search page a notice saying it has been fined by the local data-protection watchdog over how user information is tracked and stored, Frances top administrative court ruled on Friday. The U.S. search engine said it would comply with the order but would keep fighting the 150,000-euro ($204,000) fine issued last month by privacy watchdog CNIL. CNIL has objected to Googles method of combining data collected on individual users across services such as YouTube, Gmail and social network Google+. The move towards broad storage was introduced by Google in March 2012 and combined 60 privacy policies into one, giving users no means to opt out.
