NEW YORK – U.S. District Judge Jeffrey S. White this month granted final approval of a $95 million settlement in the data privacy class action lawsuit Lopez v. Apple Inc., No. 4:19-cv-04577-JSW (N.D. Cal). This agreement resolves claims that Apple’s voice-activated assistant Siri violated users’ privacy by recording private and confidential conversations without consent.
“We are pleased with the Court’s approval of this landmark settlement. This was a complex case brought on behalf of thousands of consumers and we are excited to have brought it successfully over the finish line,” said Scott+Scott Partner Erin Green Comite.
Next steps in the case will focus on processing claims and proceeding with distribution of payments.
Scott+Scott’s team of attorneys was led by Erin Green Comite and Joseph P. Guglielmo.
