Although Google told users that they had control over their location data, it turned out not to be true. It turned out that even if location tracking is turned off, Google can collect data.The lawsuit will be closed with $30 million.
According to Washington state’s claims, Google collects the user’s location data and profits from it even if location tracking is disabled. The government views this as a violation of user privacy.
Google denied the allegations, but it was reported that a settlement decision was made in the King County Supreme Court. The terms require Google to be more transparent about how it tracks users and provide a detailed webpage that explains location technologies.
Last year, in the state of Arizona, the state sued Google over its tracking practices. It resulted in Google paying $85 million. Recently, the company agreed to pay $ 8 million for deceptive Pixel 4 ads.
