After a nearly three-week trial in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the jury found that Google unlawfully collected user data from millions of individuals who had opted out of tracking, awarding $425.7 million in compensatory damages to the plaintiffs. The jury deliberated for approximately 10 hours over two days before reaching its verdict, finding Google liable for invasion of privacy and intrusion upon seclusion. 

Boies Schiller Flexner and co-counsel represent the nationwide classes of device users who claim that Google illegally collected their data over an eight-year period after they turned off tracking in their account settings.

Several media outlets reported on the verdict. Please see media coverage below.
