\n Alphabet\u2019s Google records what people are doing on hundreds of thousands of mobile apps even when they follow the company\u2019s recommended settings for stopping such monitoring, a lawsuit seeking class action status alleged on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The data privacy lawsuit is the second filed in as many months against Google by the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner on behalf a handful of individual consumers. The firm\u2019s clients also have included Google competitors such as Facebook<\/a> and Oracle.<\/p>\n

Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the filing.<\/p>\n

The new complaint in a US district court in San Jose accuses Google of violating federal wiretap law and California privacy law by logging what users are looking at in news<\/a>, ride-hailing and other types of apps despite their having turned off \u201cWeb & App Activity\u201d tracking in their Google account settings.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit alleges the data collection happens through Google\u2019s Firebase, a set of software popular among app makers for storing data, delivering notifications and ads, and tracking glitches and clicks. Firebase typically operates inside apps invisibly to consumers.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven when consumers follow Google\u2019s own instructions and turn off \u2018Web & App Activity\u2019 tracking on their \u2018Privacy Controls,\u2019 Google nevertheless continues to intercept consumers\u2019 app usage and app browsing communications and personal information,\u201d the lawsuit contends.<\/p>\n

Google uses some Firebase data to improve its products and personalize ads and other content for consumers, according to the lawsuit.<\/p>\n

Reuters reported in March that US antitrust investigators are looking into whether Google has unlawfully stifled competition in advertising and other businesses by effectively making Firebase unavoidable.<\/p>\n

In its case last month, Boies Schiller Flexner accused Google of surreptitiously recording Chrome browser users\u2019 activity even when they activated what Google calls Incognito mode. Google said it would fight the claim.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
