Google could be facing two major hurdles as regulators in France and the US are believed to be preparing to hit out at the search giant.
The French data protection regulator, CNIL, will order the web giant to 'unravel' data on users it pooled together from all of its products in March.
In the US, it has been reported that staff members at the Federal Trade Commission are preparing to recommend that the agency file an antitrust lawsuit against the search giant.
According to The Guardian, the French request relates to Google mixing information about how users behave on most of the firm's services, including Gmail and YouTube, to create a 'master profile' for each individual.
The move was originally designed to help tailor advertising to individuals' interests.
When it was revealed, it was heavily criticised and prompted an investigation by CNIL on behalf of privacy watchdogs across Europe - the findings of which are due to be announced tomorrow.
Google said the move was aimed to 'streamline and simplify' its privacy policies.
However, users were only given the options of either accepting the new privacy policy, or shutting down their Google accounts.
