Who may qualify for this settlement?

How much can I get from the Google Play $8.25M Children's Privacy Class Action settlement?
Pro rata distributions from an $8,250,000 Settlement Fund; no fixed per-claimant amount specified. The exact amount you may receive is decided by the settlement administrator based on your valid claim and is not guaranteed; a total settlement-fund figure is shared among all eligible claimants, not paid to each person.
What is the claim deadline?
The claim deadline is September 14, 2026. Confirm the current deadline on the official settlement source before filing.
What is the current payment status?
Current payment status: Payment pending. Payments are issued by the administrator after the court process concludes.
When will Google Play $8.25M Children's Privacy Class Action Settlement pay out?

Where is the official Google Play $8.25M Children's Privacy Class Action Settlement claim form?
The official claim form is hosted by the settlement administrator, Kroll Settlement Administration LLC. Use the 'Open official claim form' button on this page — never pay a fee to file.
Who actually files the claim, the parent or the child?
The parent or legal guardian should file on behalf of the child, since kids under 13 can't enter legal agreements on their own.
How much money will we actually get?
There's no set amount per person. The $8.25 million fund gets divided proportionally among valid claimants after fees and costs are deducted, so the payout depends on how many people file.
What if my child used multiple Google Play apps — does that help?
The settlement notice doesn't specify whether using more apps increases your share. File your claim and let the administrator calculate it.
What's the deadline to file?
Claims must be submitted by Monday, September 14, 2026. If you want to opt out or object instead, that deadline is earlier: Tuesday, August 4, 2026.
Is this related to a specific app or all of Google Play?
It covers any app downloaded or used from Google Play during the class period, not a single specific app.
Where to act
When you are ready, you open the official claim form yourself. SettleSignal does not file claims or determine eligibility.
You'll need the Claim ID from your notice
The official claim form asks for the Claim ID (or Notice ID) the settlement mailed or emailed to the people it identified. Didn't get one? Here's how to get it:
- Check your email (including spam) and any mail from around when the settlement was announced — the Claim ID is usually printed right on the notice.
- Still can't find it? Contact the settlement administrator (Kroll Settlement Administration LLC), tell them you believe you're a class member (for example, a customer or patient in the covered period), and ask them to look you up and send your Claim ID.
