Answer to Question #230719 in English for TEVAPRAKAS

Question

Why wasn't Google transparent about the type of data it was collecting ?

Answer 1

Google was not transparent about the data type it was collecting because in the United States, where the company is based, the Electronic Communication Privacy Act, does not make it necessary for the company to reveal the type of data it was collecting but it merely requires the company to supply the government with specific data requests. Therefore, Google was under no obligation to state the use of the data collected.
