Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent company, gives users better choice as to how Google processes their data according to Commitments undertaken by Google. The Commitments are the result of a proceeding conducted by the Bundeskartellamt based on the new instrument under competition law, which allows the Bundeskartellamt to intervene when competition is threatened by large digital companies (Section 19a of the German Competition Act, GWB). The new provision was introduced in 2021. The proceeding is a testament to the close cooperation between the Bundeskartellamt and the European Commission on the way to achieving more competition and fair markets in the digital sector.
