Overview
- Eligible claimants are those who were under 13 between July 1, 2013 and April 1, 2020 and watched content specifically directed at children on YouTube.
- Claims can be submitted at YouTubePrivacySettlement.com, with parents or guardians required to file on behalf of minors under penalty of perjury.
- Key deadlines include December 8, 2025 to exclude yourself or object, a final approval hearing on January 13, 2026, and a claims filing cutoff on January 21, 2026.
- The settlement resolves allegations that YouTube collected children’s personal data for advertising, and Google does not admit wrongdoing.
- Payouts will come from a $30 million fund after legal and administrative costs, so individual payments will vary and are expected to be modest.
