Contract problems cited.

Swedish information technology privacy watchdog Datainspektionen has stepped in and banned a local authority from using Google Apps, saying its policies are not compatible with privacy laws in the country.

The regulator told Salem council that the cloud provider contract it intended to sign with Google did not fulfill requirements when it comes to protecting and deleting sensitive personal data. [PDF - Swedish] Furthermore, Datainspektionen said the Salem council executive wasn't provided with enough oversight in to which sub-contractors Google may engage. It demanded that both these points were addressed, or the local authority would cease to use the US cloud service provider.

Datainspektionen's decision applies to other local councils in Sweden as well, and also to government departments.
