Google has been sharing user data with other search engines, according to a report from Kursors.lv.
The disclosure indicates that the tech giant has transmitted certain user information to competing search platforms, though specific details about the nature or volume of the data shared were not provided in the original report.
Kursors.lv, a Latvian news outlet, published the findings, which suggest data exchanges may occur despite Google’s dominant position in the global search market.
The report does not specify which search engines received the data, nor does it clarify whether the sharing was part of a formal agreement, technical necessity, or another arrangement.
No further context regarding user consent, data anonymization, or regulatory compliance was included in the source material.
The revelation adds to ongoing scrutiny of how major technology companies handle user information, particularly in relation to privacy practices and data portability across platforms.
As of the report’s publication, Google had not issued a public response addressing the allegations of data sharing with rival search services.
The findings underscore continued attention on data governance practices within the digital advertising and search ecosystems, where user information remains a central asset.
No financial figures, timelines, or corporate statements beyond those referenced in the Kursors.lv report were available for inclusion in this summary.
The matter remains under observation by privacy advocates and industry analysts monitoring compliance with data protection standards in various jurisdictions.
