The San Francisco class-action alleged Google unlawfully accessed devices and app activity data, violating privacy assurances under the Web & App Activity setting. Plaintiffs sought $31 billion in damages covering about 98 million users and 174 million devices, and the case was filed in July 2020. A legal decision rejected the plaintiffs' claims and removed the potential damages exposure. The company maintains that product operation prevents the alleged conduct and that its privacy tools give users control over their data, with turned-off personalization honored to limit personalization.
