Too Long; Didn't Read

The internet giant may have provided Sberbank-owned RuTarget with unique mobile phone IDs, IP addresses, location information and details about users’ interests and online activity. Google allowed RuTarget, a Russian company that helps brands and agencies buy digital ads, to access and store data about people browsing websites and apps in Ukraine and other parts of the world. The data sharing between Google and RuTarget stopped four months later on June 23, the day ProPublica contacted Google about the activity.
