The Dutch Data Protection Agency on Thursday confirmed it is also investigating Yango. Yango said the Finnish and Norwegian probes showed "Yango's personal data processing does not pose any imminent threat to the fundamental rights and freedoms" of European users. "As we have always stated, data of Yango users cannot be obtained from the service by Russian authorities outside of the established international procedures, for example, involving Interpol." Yandex is in the process of trying to separate its core Russian businesses from the international operations registered in the Netherlands.
