South Korea delays decision on Google's request for map data transfer, says ministry
Nov 10, 2025 8:35 PM

SEOUL, Nov 11 (Reuters) - South Korea said on Tuesday it

has delayed a decision on Google's request for permission to

export map data, saying it will make a final ruling once the

company submits additional documents.

South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and

Transport said in a statement that it would give Google

60 days to submit the additional material.

Seoul has previously rejected requests from Google, whose

parent is Alphabet, for permission to use map data on servers

outside the country, in 2016 and 2007, citing security concerns.
