I think this would be illegal in the UK due to the Data Protection Act:
Some excerpts from Wikipedia on DPA:
"Personal data shall be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date."
- Would Google be allowed to discard emails sent to you from others? Would this constitute personal information?
"Appropriate technical and organisational measures shall be taken against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data."
- Would Google be allowed to prevent access to your personal information?
Seems like the DPA should protect against this...
- Singletoned 10y agoThat's an interesting point, but my reading of that is that Google would be fine. They can't accidentally delete your data, but they can do it deliberately.
- LukeB_UK 10y agoI believe that personal data in the context of the Data Protection Act means data about you, so it wouldn't.
