Google agreed to pay a total of $391.5 million to 40 U.S. states to resolve an investigation into the company’s location-tracking practices
oogle agreed to pay a total of $391.5 million to 40 US states to resolve an investigation into the company’s location-tracking practices, in what state officials are calling the largest such privacy settlement in US history.
The multi-state probe was triggered by a 2018 Associated Press article reporting that Google “records your movements even when you explicitly tell it not to,” according to a separate statement by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. The states cited issues with two Google account settings: Location History and Web & App Activity.
. That complaint accused Google of violating the state’s Consumer Fraud Act by gathering location data even after users opted out of a feature.
