"The lawsuit claims that Android phones sent information to Google without users' permission, even when the phones weren't in use, using users' cell data they paid for."
"Google could have made these data transfers happen when the device was connected to Wi-Fi, but it chose to make them happen at any time."
"Anyone who used a cellular connection on an Android phone from Nov. 12, 2017, to the date the settlement receives final approval is eligible to participate in this suit."
"There is a $135 million settlement fund for approximately 100 million settlement class members, but it is not finalized how much each person will get."
A class action lawsuit against Google alleges unauthorized transmission of user data from Android devices since 2017. Users may be eligible for compensation if they accessed the internet on an Android phone during this period. Google has not admitted wrongdoing but agreed to a settlement. A $135 million fund is available for approximately 100 million eligible users. To file a claim, users need a notice ID and confirmation code, which they should receive via mail or email.
