Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- Parents or legal guardians of children who used apps on the Google Play Store
- Children (or their parents/guardians) whose personal information may have been collected through Google Play apps without proper parental consent
- U.S. residents whose children were under the age of 13 at the time their data was allegedly collected
- Individuals who had a Google Play account or whose child used Google Play-connected apps during the relevant time period covered by the settlement
How Much Can You Get?
Google has agreed to establish an $8.25 million settlement fund to compensate affected families. The exact amount each claimant will receive depends on the total number of valid claims filed — the more people who submit a claim, the smaller each individual payout may be. Specific per-person payout amounts have not been publicly confirmed at this time. Since no proof of claim is required, the barrier to filing is low, which means it's worth submitting a claim even if the individual payout ends up being modest. Any remaining funds after payouts may go toward cy pres recipients, such as children's privacy advocacy organizations.How to File Your Claim
