An Austrian online privacy campaign group said Wednesday it has a filed a complaint against Google over what it says is a tracking code illegally installed on Android phones.
The complaint from NOYB relates to Google s Android Advertising Identifier (AAID) and has been lodged with the CNIL, France s data protection authority.
According to NOYB, the AAID code is created without the user s knowledge or consent and functions like a licence plate that uniquely identifies the phone of a user and can be shared among companies .
Furthermore, NOYB (none of your business) says users do not have the option of deleting the code, with only the possibility of generating a new tracking ID.
