Google to conduct 3D mapping across Greece

Google LLC will carry out 3D mapping across Greece from February 4 to October 30 as part of efforts to update its Maps and Street View services.

The project will cover Attica, Crete, Epirus, Macedonia, Thrace, the Peloponnese, Thessaly and the Aegean and Ionian islands.

Specially marked “Google Street View” vehicles will collect images, with automatic blurring of faces and license plates to protect privacy. Residents can request additional blurring of homes or objects and may file objections under Greek and EU privacy laws. Google will process these requests within five days.

The company has confirmed that raw data will not be shared with third parties. For further details, users are encouraged to review Google’s Privacy Policy.
