Google plans to launch its controversial Street View service in Europe but not until it is confident that the service satisfies local privacy laws.<\/p>\n

A Google UK spokeswoman told Amateur Photographer<\/em> magazine today: ?We hope to bring Street View to Europe at some point but we have no dates to announce at this time.?<\/p>\n

Street View allows internet users to view 360\u00b0 street-level images of selected locations – enabling them to take a virtual tour of the area to help find local shops, hotels and restaurants, for example.<\/p>\n

Google captures the pictures using specially equipped vehicles. <\/p>\n

Since its US launch Google has received complaints that Street View infringes the privacy<\/a> of individuals shown in the images. <\/p>\n

This prompted the search engine giant to try face-blurring technology, in a bid to protect the privacy of anyone featured.<\/p>\n

In a statement Google added: ?We will not launch in Europe until we are comfortable Street View complies with local law, including law relating to the display of images of individuals.<\/p>\n

?We will use technology, like face-blurring and operational controls, such as image removal tools, so Street View remains useful and in keeping with local norms wherever it is available.?<\/p>\n

Among those reported to have expressed concerns over privacy is the European Union?s data protection supervisor Peter Hustinx, who told journalists last week: ?Making pictures on the street is, in many cases, not a problem, but making pictures everywhere is certainly going to create some problems.?<\/p>\n

Google tested a ?prototype? of its face-blurring technology in Manhattan and plans to introduce ?similar technologies? elsewhere. <\/p>\n

?This means people won?t be personally identifiable,? claims Google, adding that it can also remove problematic images.<\/p>\n

No-one at the European Union was available for immediate comment.<\/p>\n

Google did not have figures available for the number of complaints it has received.<\/p>\n
