Claim Your Part of Google’s $135M Data Settlement Now

Google has reached a $135 million settlement in a long-running dispute over Android cellular data. Filmogaz.com reports the official claims website is now live for eligible users.

Who is covered

The agreement covers most Android device users in the United States. The covered period runs from November 12, 2017 through the court’s final approval date.

One key exclusion applies. Anyone who already participated in the Csupo case in California is not eligible.

Why the case was filed

Plaintiffs said Android phones sent cellular data to Google while idle. That allegedly occurred without users’ clear awareness.

The claims raised privacy concerns and worries about extra data charges. People with limited data plans were especially affected.

Settlement details and payouts

Google did not admit wrongdoing. The company agreed to the settlement to avoid prolonged litigation.

The fund totals $135 million. The site notes individual recoveries could reach up to $100 each. That amount is the maximum, not a guarantee.

Final payouts will depend on the number of eligible claimants. Legal fees and court-approved deductions will also reduce the net fund. Expect pro-rated payments if millions qualify.

Payment methods

• PayPal
• Venmo
• Zelle
• ACH bank transfer
• Virtual Mastercard

Most eligible users will receive a payment election form. You usually will not need to submit a traditional paper claim form.

How to file a claim

The settlement website, hosted via ClaimHub24, allows users to check eligibility. The site also accepts claims and lists important deadlines.

Follow the site instructions to submit information and to choose your payment method. Keep an eye on the timeline and any court notices.

What to expect next

Watch for notifications if you qualify. The court must approve the plan and any legal fees before funds are distributed.

If you believe you were affected, act soon. You can claim your part of Google’s $135 million data settlement by visiting the official claims portal and completing the election form.
