Based on your answers to the following questions, we can check your eligibility for a lawsuit related to Google Privacy Violation
Have you used Incognito Mode in Google’s Chrome browser? You may have assumed your browsing was completely private while using this mode, but the company was still collecting certain points of data about your browsing. If you think Google violated your privacy in this way, you might be entitled to statutory damages under the California Information Privacy Act (CIPA). The law allows for damages of $5,000 per violation. That means, it’s possible that each time you used Incognito browsing may have been a violation of the CIPA.
Take our case evaluation today to find out if you qualify for compensation.
In 2020, Google’s parent company, Alphabet, Inc., was accused of the privacy of Google Chrome users who were browsing the internet in “Incognito Mode” by collecting specific data. Users were led to believe that going incognito made their browsing confidential, but the company allegedly continued tracking and storing user data in the mode.
One important part of this lawsuit is that its against one of the largest companies in the world. These companies can get away with violating privacy rights in ways that are unseen. It’s therefore a huge win for consumers when they are held accountable for hurting their customers’ privacy rights. If you used Incognito Mode on Google Chrome, you might be eligible for compensation for potential violations to your privacy.
The lawsuit was initially filed in 2020 after it came to light that even in Incognito mode, Google was collecting user data. The company unsuccessfully tried to dismiss the case, but settled the lawsuit in February 2024.
The settlement included a requirement that Google delete billions of points of user data. However, it did not include the $5 billion in compensation the lawsuit was seeking. Individuals who were affected by the Google Incognito privacy violations instead must seek their claims individually.
