Apr 02, Kathmandu- Google has agreed to delete billions of data (records) and to impose some restrictions on its power to track users.

Under the terms of the proposed legal settlement, Google has agreed to delete billions of data and impose some restrictions on its power to track users, the BBC reported.

The purpose of this agreement is to resolve the class action lawsuit brought in the US in 2020. In that case, tech giant Google was accused of invading people's privacy by collecting user data even while browsing in 'Privacy Mode'.

In that case, Google was asked to pay 5 billion US dollars in damages.

It is said that the removal of the said data will be applied in countries other than the US as well.
