A campaigning group is suing Google on behalf of 5.4 million people over allegations that the company harvested personal information from iPhone users.
“Google You Owe Us”, led by ex-Which? director Richard Lloyd, claims Google illegally collected personal data from 5.4 million individuals in the UK between June 2011 and February 2012.
Using the so-called “Safari Workaround,” Google allegedly placed cookies that tracked iPhones’ internet browsing history, which the company then used to sell ads.
