Android users could be owed up to $100 from Google in a class-action settlement
A $135 million settlement with Google may provide up to $100 to eligible Android users who had their data transferred without permission.Summary
Google has reached a $135 million class-action settlement, potentially awarding up to $100 to approximately 100 million Android users in the United States. The lawsuit, known as Taylor v. Google LLC, alleged that Google transferred user data without explicit permission, consuming cellular data in the background. Google denies any wrongdoing. Eligibility extends to those who used Android devices to access the internet via cellular data between November 12, 2017, and the settlement’s final approval, excluding those already part of the Csupo v. Google LLC lawsuit. Eligible users do not need to file a claim to receive payment, but are encouraged to complete a Payment Election Form to ensure they receive their share. The exact amount each user receives will depend on the number of valid claims and after deductions for fees and costs, but payments are capped at $100. Final approval is scheduled for June 23rd, after which payments will be distributed.
