Google has been asked to answer a list of sixty-nine questions about its ads and privacy policies as French regulators want to determine if the mobile devices and apps running on Google's Android platform violate European privacy rules.

The Financial Times reported that French privacy watchdog called CNIL is concerned that the Internet search giant's controversial new privacy policy breaches European privacy rules.

According to the paper, CNIL has asked Google to answer its questions by 5th of April this year.

Previously, EU regulators requested the Internet firm to defer the launch of its new privacy policy but the firm defied the request and launched the new policy on the planned date of 1st of March.

Google claims that its new privacy policy is clear and transparent and complies with all EU data protection rules.

The company said in an e-mailed statement that it is confident that its "new simple, clear and transparent privacy policy respects all European data protection laws and principles."

But, the CNIL said the questions reflected the need for legal clarifications on the company's new privacy policy, particularly on the sharing of users' personal information across different services.
