California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced a USD93 million settlement over claims against Google's location privacy practices. The California Department of Justice determined Google deceived users by "collecting, storing, and using their location data for consumer profiling and advertising purposes without informed consent." Google also agreed to additional measures, including providing users more information when enabling location-related settings, increasing transparency around location tracking and data collection, and notifying users that their location information may be used for ad personalization.
