Privacy group: Google sharing too much personal info with developers

JMH · Feb 26, 2013

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the California Office of the Attorney General should investigate Google's Wallet service for sharing app buyers' personal information with app developers, a privacy group said.

Reports this month that Google Wallet is sharing customer information with app developers is the latest in a long line of privacy violations, said Consumer Watchdog, a frequent critic of Google privacy practices. Google's conduct violates a 2011 privacy agreement with the FTC over its Buzz social-networking service and the U.S. FTC Act prohibiting unfair and deceptive business practices, Consumer Watchdog said in a letter to the FTC sent Monday.
