Users alleged Google's analytics, cookies and apps let the Alphabet unit improperly track people
OAKLAND – Google agreed to destroy billions of data records to settle a lawsuit claiming it secretly tracked the internet use of people who thought they were browsing privately.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs valued the accord at more than $5 billion, and as high as $7.8 billion. Google is paying no damages, but users may sue the company individually for damages. Google spokesman Jose Castaneda said the company was pleased to settle the lawsuit, which it always considered meritless.
David Boies, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, in a statement called the settlement "a historic step in requiring honesty and accountability from dominant technology companies."
