The General Directorate of Protection of Personal Data for Peru (GDPD) held that Google was bound by the Peruvian Law for Personal Data Protection (LPPD) both when acting through its local corporate personality, Google Peru S.R.L, and when acting through its international corporate personality, Google Inc. An individual who had been subject of a criminal investigation which had ultimately been dismissed had asked Google to remove from its indexes the links to all pieces of information concerning the dismissed investigation. Google Peru S.R.L. and Google Inc. refused. The GDPD reasoned that Google Search both (1) tracked information containing personal data from Peruvian citizens with the purpose of facilitating  access to that information for its users and; (2) had a geographical location function that offered users the option to only receive information extracted from Peruvian websites. Based on this, it concluded that, in order to provide search engine services to the Peruvian market, Google visited web pages located on Peruvian servers in order to register and index information and processed personal data of Peruvian citizens without their consent and that, accordingly, Google, through both its local Google Peru S.R.L and its international Google Inc. personalities was bound by the LPPD as an entity responsible for data processing in Peru.
