Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You are a U.S. resident who, or whose child, was younger than 13 years old when they downloaded or used an app from the Google Play Store at any time since April 1, 2015.
- The claim can be filed by the class member or by their parent or legal guardian, who must e-sign the form.
- No purchase was necessary — the class is based on app use, not payment.
How Much Can You Get?
Estimated payments of roughly $40 to $200 per valid claim. This is a fixed $8.25 million fund, so each claimant receives a pro-rata (proportional) share of the net fund after fees and costs — the exact amount depends on how many valid claims are filed.
How to File Your Claim
Filing your claim is quick and easy:
- Confirm eligibility — a child in your household used a Google Play app before turning 13, any time since April 1, 2015.
- No proof of purchase or documentation is required. You do not need a mailed notice or Claimant ID to file; the claim is self-attested and e-signed by the class member or their parent/guardian.
- File by September 14, 2026 at the official site, COPPAPrivacyClassAction.com (administrator: Kroll). Class Action Buddy can help you auto-fill the form.
- Filing is free.

Is this the $825 million settlement?
No. The total settlement fund is $8.25 million (about eight and a quarter million dollars), not $825 million. It resolves COPPA children's privacy claims against Google and AdMob.
Do I need proof or a Claimant ID from a mailed notice?
No. No proof of purchase or documentation is required, and you do not need a Claimant ID from a mailed notice. The claim is self-attested and must be e-signed by the class member or their parent or guardian.
Who can file if my child is now older than 13?
Eligibility is based on the child being under 13 when they used a Google Play app since April 1, 2015. A parent or legal guardian can file on the child's behalf, or the now-older user can file, as long as the age-at-use condition is met.
What is the deadline?
Valid claims must be submitted by September 14, 2026. The final approval hearing is scheduled for September 24, 2026, and payments follow final approval.
