Two Android phone users have sued Google Inc. over claims their phones secretly recorded and stored data about their movements, Bloomberg reported.

The two residents of Oakland County, Mich., said in a complaint filed April 27 in federal court in Detroit that their HTC Inspire 4G phones, which use Google’s Android operating system, track their whereabouts “just as if by a tracking device for which a court-ordered warrant would ordinarily be required.”

The plaintiffs seek to represent other Android phone users in a class-action lawsuit, as well as at least $50 million in damages and a court order requiring Google to stop tracking its products’ users.

Google and Apple Inc. are facing scrutiny from consumers and lawmakers over the collection of data on smartphones. Both companies have agreed to testify at a May 10 U.S. Senate hearing about consumer privacy on mobile devices.

Chris Gaither, a spokesman for Google, declined to comment on the lawsuit, Bloomberg said.

“We provide users with notice and control over the collection, sharing and use of location” information on Androids, Gaither had said in an e-mail on April 27 regarding lawmakers’ concern over data collection. “Any location data that is sent back to Google location servers is anonymized and is not tied or traceable to a specific user.”
