Breaking News: Your IP Address May Be Sent to Google Maps

Adamastor Restaurant in Parede, Portugal Implicated

Latest Reports Suggest Privacy Concerns

In a developing story, it has emerged that the IP addresses of visitors to the Adamastor restaurant in Parede, Portugal, may have been inadvertently sent to Google Maps. The revelation has raised concerns over data privacy and the potential misuse of personal information.

According to sources, the IP address information was collected through a tracking script embedded in the restaurant's website. The script was intended to gather analytics data to improve the website's functionality. However, it appears that the script also transmitted the IP addresses of visitors to Google Maps, without their knowledge or consent.

Google has since acknowledged the issue and has taken steps to remove the tracking script from the restaurant's website. The company has also stated that they are investigating the matter and will take appropriate action to protect user privacy.

The incident has prompted calls for stricter regulations on data collection practices by businesses. Privacy advocates argue that individuals have the right to control their personal information and that companies should obtain explicit consent before collecting and sharing sensitive data.
