What changed

In the ongoing class-action lawsuit Rodriguez et al. v. Google LLC et al. (Case No. 3:20-cv-04688-RS), a motion has been filed by plaintiffs Susan Lynn Harvey, Anibal Rodriguez, and Julian Santiago to direct notice to members of the certified class. This motion was filed on March 23, 2026, and a hearing is scheduled for April 30, 2026, before Judge Richard Seeborg. The court is also considering an opposition/response to a prior motion and a bill of costs filed by the plaintiffs.

For compliance officers involved in class-action litigation or managing consumer data, this filing indicates a significant procedural step towards notifying affected individuals. While this is a legal proceeding rather than a regulatory rule, it highlights the ongoing scrutiny of Google's practices and the potential for substantial class member engagement. Companies should be aware of the implications of such class certification and notice procedures, particularly concerning data privacy and consumer rights, and monitor the outcome of this motion and the scheduled hearing.
