GOOGLE COLLECTS DATA IN INCOGNITO MODE : CONSUMERS ALLEGE IN LAWSUIT

  • 14/03/2021

It has been revealed that Google secretly scoops out users' data, even in the incognito mode, defying the basic idea of this model.This was revealed in a lawsuit against Google's parent organisation, Alphabet Inc., by a few consumers who alleged that even if they turn off the option of data collection in Google Chrome, other Google tools still end up collecting personal information and activities of the users.Following this case, Alphabet Inc. had filed a request to throw out the case, however, the request was denied by a federal judge.

These allegations have been denied by Google. "We strongly dispute these claims and we will defend ourselves vigorously against them," Google spokesperson Jose Castaneda said in an emailed statement. "Incognito mode in Chrome gives you the choice to browse the internet without your activity being saved to your browser or device. As we clearly state each time you open a new incognito tab, websites might be able to collect information about your browsing activity during your session."
