"The updated message clarifies that websites and services, including Google, can collect a user’s data, even while browsing in incognito mode. This comes weeks after the company settled a $5 billion privacy lawsuit that accused Google of misleading users to believe that Google would not be tracking their data while using the browser setting.

"'Others who use this device won’t see your activity, so you can browse more privately. This won’t change how data is collected by websites you visit and the services they use, including Google. Downloads, bookmarks and reading list items will be saved,' reads the updated message, according to The Verge."
