Google will destroy browsing data it collected from users in incognito mode to settle a $5 billion class action lawsuit, according to federal court filings. Google is also required to revise its disclosure about incognito mode. The 2020 privacy lawsuit accused Google of secretly amassing data from users when they thought their browsing was private. Google argued the case should be dismissed on the grounds that users “expressly consented” to data collection by accepting Google’s privacy policy and other terms of service, a position the court denied in August. Court papers about the agreement were filed in December, but not revealed until now.
