Australian Judge Finds Google Misled Users Over Location Data Collection Advertisement Advertisement
The Federal Court of Australia found that Google misled users about personal location data collection, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has announced. Justice Thomas Thawley on Friday ruled that the internet giant misled users into thinking that it could collect, keep or use personally identifiable location data only if the “Location History” setting was on.
However, another setting titled “Web & App Activity” also allowed Google these permissions. But the company didn’t explicitly inform consumers of this. Moreover, this setting was on by default, thus enabling Google to collect personally identifiable location data from users.
