Google to delete incognito search data to end suit

(UPDATE) SAN FRANCISCO, California: Google has agreed to delete a vast trove of search data to settle a suit that it tracked millions of US users who thought they were browsing the internet privately.

If a proposed settlement filed Monday in San Francisco federal court is approved by a judge, Google must 'delete and/or remediate billions of data records' linked to people using the Chrome browser's incognito mode, according to court documents.
