While Google stated that its voice assistant would only register people&#8217;s speech when consumers uttered an activation phrase, such as &#8220;Hey Google,&#8221; the consumers claimed that their devices recorded them even without using such language.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Some claimants alleged the Google devices recorded private conversations about financial issues, personal decisions and employment.<\/p>\n<p>If the settlement is approved, Google will place $68 million in a fund that will pay all consumer claims, as well as court-approved attorneys&#8217; fees and other costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alphabet-owned Google didn&#8217;t immediately respond to a request for comment from CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>Consumers will be able to submit claims for up to three Google devices, although how much individuals receive will depend on how many claims are submitted, according to the settlement.<\/p>\n<p>The agreement is similar to an Apple class-action lawsuit that alleged its Siri voice assistant had eavesdropped on private or confidential conversations.
