What's the Google Web App Activity Lawsuit?
The Google user activity class action lawsuit alleges that Google accessed devices and data, including app activity data on mobile devices even though users had their activity data gathering option switched off. The class action lawsuit alleges that even though the Google activity controls called Web & App Activity ("WAA") and/or a sub-setting concerning "Chrome history and activity from sites, apps, and devices that use Google services," sometimes called supplemental Web & App Activity ("sWAA") were turned off or "paused", Google continued to stream user data without their consent. No settlement has been reached yet, so there is no total settlement fund, payout information or claim form. Please check back here regularly for updates to the class action.
The allegations in the privacy class action lawsuit are that Google may have violated specific consumer laws such as the Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act (“CDAFA”). The lawsuit claims that Google collected, saved, and used data concerning activity on non-Google apps that have incorporated certain Google software code into the apps, despite these settings being off.
What is the Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act?
The Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act (CDAFA) is a California consumer protection law designed to protect individuals, businesses, and government entities from unauthorized access and misuse of computer data and systems. It provides legal recourse for victims through civil claims for damages and injunctions against violators.
What is the Total Settlement Amount?
There is no settlement amount mentioned in the provided text as the class action lawsuit is still pending, and no money or benefits are available now, and may not be if a settlement is not agreed upon with Google and the courts.
How Do I Qualify For a Payout?
You may qualify if you had your "Web & App Activity" and/or "supplemental Web & App Activity" setting turned off and your activity on a non-Google-branded mobile app was still transmitted to Google, from a mobile device running the Android operating system or a non-Android operating system, because of the Firebase Software Development Kit ("SDK") and/or Google Mobile Ads SDK, during the period beginning July 1, 2016, and continuing through September 23, 2024.
