When turned on, as currently described, the WAA button"saves your activity on Google sites and apps, including associated info like location" to personalize searches, recommendations, and other Google services. But when it's turned off Google still saves people's data, or so it's alleged in the complaint filed in July 2020, and amended for the fourth time in January 2023.
Hochman in his deposition contends that even Google insiders, including Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, misunderstand the WAA control. Much of the issue, allegedly, is that WAA, rather than saving data when on and not saving it when off, simply saves data in a different place – not in the Google Account data set. Addressing the confusion about the bounds of Google Accounts, Hochman said,"So I'm aware that Google may save data in different locations, depending on where that WAA/sWAA switch is set. It is still collecting the same data and still saving it, but it may save it in different places.
"All of these products surreptitiously copy and provide Google with app activity data while WAA is turned off, including personal browsing data," the complaint claims.
