$62M Google Location Tracking Privacy Class Action Settlement
Google has agreed to pay $62 million to settle a class action lawsuit over location tracking privacy allegations. If you had a Google account with location tracking enabled during the eligible period, you may be entitled to a cash payment (pro rata share) — with no proof required to file a claim.
Do I Qualify?
You may be eligible if:
- Anyone who used a Google account between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2023 and had location tracking enabled
- You submit a valid claim before the deadline listed on the official settlement page
No proof is required. You do not need to provide documentation to file a claim.
File your claim on the official settlement website.
File Your Claim →What Happened?
Google was sued for tracking users' location data even after they had turned off Location History in their Google account settings. An investigation by the Associated Press revealed that Google continued to store location data through other means — including Web & App Activity — even when users believed they had disabled location tracking.
The practice affected billions of Google account users worldwide. Google agreed to pay $62 million to settle the class action brought by U.S. users who had location tracking enabled between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2023.
How Much Will I Actually Get?
The $62 million fund divided among potentially hundreds of millions of eligible Google users means individual payments are likely modest. No proof is required — just confirm you had a Google account with location services during the qualifying period. Payment estimates are not yet finalized as claims are still being processed.
