A federal jury in San Francisco found Google liable for invasion of privacy and intrusion upon seclusion after the company kept collecting data from third-party apps for users who had switched off the Web & App Activity setting.

The award is a single class-wide figure shared by two nationwide classes of about 98 million users, not one person's recovery.
