Google agreed to stronger privacy protections for its proposed $10 million purchase of Spirit Airlines employee data to train AI models. The agreement clears the way for approval next week, a union representing employees said.
Google agreed to a more rigorous de-identification process for employee data it plans to acquire from defunct Spirit Airlines. Significant employee data, including health and medical information, will be excluded from the sale, a union representing employees said.
The agreement clears the way for approval next week of Google's $10 million deal. Google won an August auction for Spirit data including emails, spreadsheets, calendars, and information on marketing, productivity and operations. Spirit halted operations in May.
