Here are some of the latest widely reported Google/Alphabet class-action developments (with dates) that are appearing in recent coverage:
Android cellular data privacy settlement ($135M)
- A reported $135 million settlement concerns allegations that Google may have collected or surveilled Android users’ cellular data for targeted advertising.[1]
- The settlement reportedly received preliminary court approval on March 5, 2026, and class members were reported to have deadlines to submit claims/exclusions/objections around May 29, 2026.[1]
Google privacy tracking verdict (reported $425M)
- In another privacy-focused case, a federal jury reportedly found Google liable and required it to pay $425 million in a class action alleging data collection continued despite users disabling a tracking-related setting.[2]
- Coverage also indicates the allegations involved collection over an eight-year span and users who had turned off tracking.[2]
Google Assistant “recording without consent” settlement ($68M)
- A separate report says Google and Alphabet agreed to a proposed $68 million class-action settlement tied to allegations that Google Assistant-enabled devices recorded conversations without consent.[3]
- The proposed settlement was reported as pending federal judge approval in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.[3]
If you tell me which state/country you’re in and what device ecosystem you care about (Android only, Assistant, or account tracking/privacy), I can narrow this down to the cases most likely to involve eligibility questions.
