From the article:
According to the lawsuit, Google duped its users by creating a maze of confusing and misleading settings, falsely telling Texans they could protect their privacy by turning off features like “Location History.” But in reality, Google was still logging user data using obscure and hard-to-find settings like “Web & App Activity,” storing data in shadowy internal databases with Orwellian names like “Footprints.”
The lawsuit outlines that the data harvested by Google could reveal:
Home and work addresses
Political and religious affiliations
Medical conditions and support group attendance
Sexual orientation and income level
Life milestones like marriage, divorce, or childbirth
Even with location services “turned off,” Google reportedly continued to track users through Wi-Fi signals, Bluetooth, and IP addresses, deceiving consumers and violating their right to privacy.
Who gets the money and how much?
