Italy is investigating Apple, Google and Dropbox cloud storage services

Italy’s competition authority has opened an investigation into cloud storage services operated by Apple, Dropbox, and Google.

The competition and market authority said on Monday, that it has opened a total of six investigations into Apple iCloud, Google Drive, and Dropbox’s online storage service in response to complaints about unfair commercial practices and violations of the country’s consumer rights directive.

As well as, the regulator said it’s looking into whether the three companies either failed to or did not adequately, indicate how users’ data would be collected and used for commercial purposes. It is also examining whether Dropbox failed to provide clear and accessible information on how users could get out of contracts or pursue out of court dispute settlements.
