Google Buys Mastercard
Google has reportedly bought Mastercard credit card data in the US to help it track users’ offline spending in stores.
The two firms had not made the deal public but it was discovered by Bloomberg.
Mastercard denied suggestions that its data could be used to identify exact purchases.
The Open Rights Group told the BBC the confidential nature of the deal raised privacy issues.
