Welcome to the website for the Rodriguez v. Google LLC Class Action Lawsuit
If you have previously had either the Google “Web & App Activity” control or the “Supplemental Web & App Activity” sub-setting turned off or “paused,” you could be included in an ongoing class action lawsuit.
Four Google account holders (“Plaintiffs”) filed a class action lawsuit alleging that Google LLC (“Google”) unlawfully accessed their devices and data, including app activity data on their mobile devices, even though the Google activity controls called Web & App Activity (“WAA”) and/or a sub-setting concerning “Chrome history and activity from sites, apps, and devices that use Google services,” sometimes called supplemental Web & App Activity (“sWAA”) were turned off or “paused.” Plaintiffs allege Google unlawfully accessed their mobile devices to collect, save, and use the data concerning their activity on non-Google apps that have incorporated certain Google software code into the apps. Plaintiffs have three legal claims: 1) invasion of privacy; 2) intrusion upon seclusion (similar to invasion of privacy); and 3) violation of the Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act (“CDAFA”). For all three legal claims Plaintiffs seek money damages and changes to Google’s practices.
Google denies Plaintiffs’ legal claims.
On September 3, 2025, after a federal trial, the jury concluded that Google unlawfully collected information from certain users of smartphones and tablets who claimed they asked Google not to track their activity on mobile apps. The jury awarded a verdict of over $425 million in damages to two certified Classes. The Court entered a judgment, which requires Google to pay the Classes the amount of the jury’s verdict plus interest.
However, Google has asked the Court to vacate the judgment, meaning disregard the jury verdict. Google may also appeal the judgment.
Class Counsel has asked the Court to award fees for their work in this case. Class Members have the right to object to this request. The Court will decide Class Counsel’s compensation. Class Counsel’s fees will be paid from the compensation ultimately awarded in this case, if any. These amounts will not be paid until after the Court rules on Google’s request to disregard the jury verdict and, if Google also chooses to appeal, after the Court rules on that appeal.
