We have started a representative action against Google because we believe they abused the rights of iPhone users by taking their data unlawfully.

A representative action is when a group of people affected by the same issue are represented by a single person to bring a claim. Consumers can use such an action to hold large companies to account. Representative actions need representatives, ours is Richard Lloyd.

If you were affected you will automatically be part of the claim and you do not need to take any further action. Richard Lloyd and the lawyers are taking care of the case. To see if you were affected by Google’s actions, or alternatively, if you do not wish to be part of the claim, please click here.

We want as many people as possible to know about this claim. If you know someone else who had an iPhone in 2011-12, spread the word and let them know that they may be part of the claim.

We want to ensure that big companies like Google respect our privacy in the future. Our personal information is valuable and it must be used it in a way that is trustworthy and fair.

Our personal data is how Google makes money.

When we use our phones, we trust that big companies like Google are using our data in a way that is fair and lawful.

But in 2011-12, we believe Google tracked our internet searches and took our data illegally.

Together, we can show the world’s biggest companies are not above the law.

Approximately 5.4 million individuals were affected between 2011 and 2012. Richard Lloyd is also a class member, and is representing everyone in the claim. Find out more about him here.

By joining together we are making a stand against Google. This is why we are running this case as a “Representative Action”, which is a type of collective action. Click here to see if you are part of the claim.
