Google is set to change the privacy options of StreetView, so that the service meets European requirements.

The change has come about after the Article 29 Working Group, an independent advisory board on data, asked the search engine to look into its privacy practises for Street View and mentioned that a time-limit should be set for how long it keeps non-blurred images on its servers.
