Tech giant Google has agreed to a digital housecleaning which will affect approximately 136 million users. The purge resulted from a lawsuit’s allegations that Google was involved in illegal surveillance on its users while in Incognito mode.
As part of the settlement, Google has pledged to remove billions of records older than nine months from its databases.
The company also agreed to disable third-party trackers by default, to ensure users are informed when their data is being collected.
Details of the settlement were first reported in December in the Wall Street Journal.
