A lawsuit has been filed by three Google users against the company in the US District Court in Manhattan over new ‘deceptive’ privacy policy, reports ANI.

According to these users, they were deceived by the new privacy policy of Google as it combines user information across a number of company services.

The complainants in this case include David Nisenbaum, Pedro Marti and Allison C Weiss. They seek this case to have class-action status as they claim they are fighting the case on behalf of all Google and Android users who signed up for any Google user account in the past 8 years August 19, 2004 onwards, and were using their account on or after March 1, 2012. Google implemented changes in its new privacy policy beginning March 1, 2012.

Before the privacy changes came into effect, Google in its blog post said “our updated Privacy Policy makes our privacy practices easier to understand, and it reflects our desire to create a seamless experience for our signed-in users.”

According to complainants, Google deceived its users by combining privacy policies for about 60 products into one, and that the privacy “change violates Google’s prior privacy policies.”

They claim Google violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the Federal Wiretap Act and the Stored Electronic Communications Act with its new privacy policy. Google users now seek financial damages from the company.

Google has declined to comment on the matter stating that it had not yet been served the complaint.
