Google Agrees to Enhanced Privacy Measures in Spirit Airlines Data Acquisition
Alphabet's Google has agreed to enhanced privacy protections in its $10 million acquisition of employee data from the defunct Spirit Airlines, according to a union representing employees. The deal, pending bankruptcy court approval, includes a more rigorous de-identification process and excludes sensitive data such as health information. An independent agent will verify data anonymization, and Google is barred from re-identifying data. Lawmakers had raised concerns about the scope of data involved, but passenger information was excluded from the sale.
