Google Web App Activity Location History Privacy Settlement

Google was found to have collected location and activity data even after users turned off the relevant privacy settings, and a $425.7 million verdict was reached. There's no claim form open yet, so there's nothing to file right now — but check back once a deadline is announced.

Individuals with non-enterprise Google accounts who turned off 'Web & App Activity' or 'supplemental Web & App Activity' setting between July 1, 2016 and September 23, 2024, and whose activity on non-Google-branded apps was still transmitted to Google from non-Android mobile devices due to Firebase SDK and/or Google Mobile Ads SDK. Payout: $425.7 million verdict (as of September 3, 2025), accruing interest; estimated to grow to $440,345,685.40+ as of March 2026. No proof of purchase is required to file. Checked against the official settlement source by SettleSignal on June 9, 2026.

How hard is this claim to file?

A $425.7 million verdict has been entered against Google for tracking users who had turned off 'Web & App Activity.' There's no claim form yet and no deadline has been announced. Keep this one on your radar. When a claims process opens, you'll need to act — and it could move fast once it does.

No source documents provided and no claim form exists yet. All details are drawn from structured facts only. You can file on the official site.

Watch out for

  • There's nothing to file right now. No claim form exists yet.
  • No deadline has been set, but once one is announced it could be tight. Don't wait until the last minute to check back.
  • The $425.7 million figure is a verdict amount as of September 3, 2025. Final settlement terms and what individuals actually receive haven't been decided yet.
  • Only non-Android mobile device users qualify. If you only used Android during the class period, you likely won't be eligible.
  • Enterprise Google accounts — work or school — are excluded from this settlement.

We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
