California hits Google for $93M over deceptive location data options | TechCrunch

Location History is one of several detailed records Google keeps of your activity.

Users were repeatedly told they should “enhance” their Google Maps experience, with the responses “Yes, I’m in” or “Skip for now.” If you kept your Location History off, though, Google assured you that “the places you go to are no longer stored” This was totally false, as reported in 2018 .

With this settlement, Google admits to no wrongdoing but will nevertheless pay $93 million .
