The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has revived a lawsuit against Google, ruling that the company may have collected personal information from Chrome users without their consent, even when they chose not to synchronize their browsers with their Google accounts. The court disagreed with the lower court's previous decision and found that Google's privacy notice may have misled users into believing their data would not be collected unless they explicitly turned on the sync function. The case has been returned to the lower court for further proceedings, Reuters reports.
