Android Users: Your Google Data Settlement Payout!
8 Apr
Summary
- Android phones allegedly sent data to Google without permission.
- Settlement fund totals $135 million for eligible users.
- Final approval hearing is scheduled for June 23, 2026.
A class action lawsuit against Google, Taylor et al. v. Google LLC, alleges that Android phones transmitted user information to the company without consent. This data transfer allegedly occurred even when phones were idle and all applications were closed, potentially utilizing paid cell data. Google has not admitted to any wrongdoing but has agreed to a settlement to avoid litigation.
Individuals who used cellular data on an Android phone between November 12, 2017, and the date of final settlement approval are eligible. Participants should have received or will receive a notice via mail or email containing a code. Claims can be filed at www.federalcellularclassaction.com using the provided notice ID and confirmation code.
The settlement includes a fund of $135 million intended for around 100 million class members. While actual participation rates are typically low, individual payouts could reach up to $100 after administrative costs, taxes, and attorney fees are deducted. Eligible members will receive payment after the court grants final approval on June 23, 2026.
