People in the United States who downloaded or used a Google Play app while younger than 13 may qualify for money from a proposed $8.25 million class action settlement. Plaintiffs allege Google LLC and AdMob Google Inc. collected, used, or disclosed children’s personal information through Google Play apps. Google denies wrongdoing.
The proposed class covers U.S. residents who were under 13 when they used or downloaded a Google Play app from April 1, 2015 to the present and whose information was allegedly collected, used, or disclosed. Valid claimants would receive proportional payments after approved deductions.
Claim forms are reported due September 14, 2026; the August 4, 2026 opt-out and objection deadline has passed. The draft reported a September 24, 2026 final approval hearing at 10 a.m. Pacific, but the official settlement portal, documents page, and agreement were inaccessible during the primary-source recheck. Publication is therefore held pending direct confirmation of the current dates and status.
This article reports proposed settlement allegations and does not guarantee eligibility or payment.
