Google Hit With Lawsuit Over Data Collection on School Kids

A proposed class action filed in California federal court accuses Google of unlawfully collecting data on K-12 students through its widely used "Workspace for Education" suite. The lawsuit claims Google gathers extensive personal data without parental consent, relying instead on schools’ approval, which the plaintiffs argue is legally insufficient. It alleges Google secretly embeds tracking tech in Chrome to create digital fingerprints of children, even when privacy tools are enabled. The data is allegedly used for commercial purposes or sold to third parties. Google denies the claims, asserting student data is protected and not used for personalized ads. Plaintiffs seek nationwide class certification.
