Alphabet Inc’s Google will pay $85-million (R1.5-billion) to resolve a consumer privacy suit by Arizona claiming the technology giant surreptitiously collects data on users’ whereabouts for targeted advertising.

The settlement comes as Google is facing similar complaints by a group of state attorneys general, including Texas, Indiana and Washington, in their respective state courts, over user location data.

Google, in its defence, had argued that the state consumer protection law requires that alleged fraud is connected to a sale or advertisement. In January, an Arizona state judge denied Google’s request to dismiss the case.
