Google is accused of collecting extensive data on K-12 students without parental consent.
The lawsuit claims Google's 'Workspace for Education' is used by nearly 70% of K-12 schools in the US.
Google allegedly embeds hidden tracking technology in Chrome to create unique digital fingerprints of children.
The company is accused of using student data for commercial purposes and selling it to third parties.
Google denies the allegations, stating it does not use K-12 user data for personalized advertising.
The lawsuit involves violations of the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments, the Federal Wiretap Act, and the California Invasion of Privacy Act.
Plaintiffs seek to represent a nationwide class of K-12 public school students who used Google’s products.
