Google Australia has lost its court battle with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) in a landmark case relating to its data privacy settings.
The court found that Google misrepresented that its ‘Location History’ setting was the only Google Account setting that affected whether Google collected, kept or used personally identifiable data about a new users’ location.
However, another setting, ‘Web & App Activity’, also collected users’ location data when activated, a setting that was turned on by default, in what the ACCC claimed was misleading.
