As many as 4.4 million iPhone users have sued tech giant Google in the UK for the alleged 'clandestine tracking and collation' of personal information. The effort is being led by former director Richard Lloyd over claims that Google bypassed the privacy settings of Apple's Safari browser on iPhones between August 2011 and February 2012 in order to divide people into categories for advertisers. If things don't go in its favour, Google may end up paying £3.2bn or around Rs 30,000 crore as per current exchange values.
According to a report by The Guardian, the lawyers for Lloyd's campaign group Google You Owe Us told the court on Monday that information collected by Google included race, physical and mental heath, political leanings, sexuality, social class, financial, shopping habits and location data.
