Default Google given 35 days to delete data

This judgement was inevitable but I'm wondering just how 'sensitive' some of the collected data was.

Quote:
Google has been given 35 days to delete any remaining data it "mistakenly collected" while taking pictures for its Street View service, or face criminal proceedings.
But the UK Information Commissioner's Office did not impose a fine.
Its investigation into Google reopened last year after further revelations about the data taken from wi-fi networks.
During that inquiry, additional discs containing private data were found.
Google had previously pledged to destroy all data it had collected, but admitted last year that it had "accidentally" retained the additional discs.
The ICO has told the search giant it must inform it if any further discs of information are discovered.
