About This Settlement
Google and AdMob agreed to pay $8.25 million to resolve claims that they violated federal and state laws by collecting, using and disclosing personal information from children under 13 years old without parental consent.
The Google settlement benefits individuals who were younger than 13 years old when they downloaded or otherwise used an application from Google Play between April 1, 2015, and the present.
According to the class action lawsuit, Google and AdMob violated the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by collecting, using and disclosing personal information from children without parental consent.

Google offers a variety of apps and services, while AdMob is a mobile advertising platform owned by Google.
Google and AdMob have not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $8.25 million class action settlement to resolve the COPPA class action lawsuit.
