There is no Life360 class action settlement claim form available to file as of early 2026. The case, E.S. et al. v. Life360 Inc., Case No. 3:23-cv-00168 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, has not reached a publicly approved settlement, so no official claim portal exists yet.1Top Class Actions. Life360 Class Action Claims App Sells User Data If a website, email, or letter is currently inviting you to submit a Life360 claim, treat it as suspect until you can match it against the court docket or a verified class notice. Scam notices that mimic real class actions are common, and the giveaway is usually a request for a Social Security number, bank password, or upfront fee. Legitimate settlement administrators ask for none of those.
Where the Case Stands
The lawsuit was filed in January 2023. It alleges that Life360 sold precise user geolocation data to data brokers without proper consent. A federal judge approved a mediation order in May 2023 directing the parties to attend a private mediation session.2The Markup. Life360 Sued for Selling Location Data The case has continued through the litigation process since, but no settlement agreement or final court approval has been announced publicly.
When a settlement is reached, the court schedules a preliminary approval hearing, then a notice period during which class members are contacted by email or mail, then a final approval hearing. Only after final approval does the claim process open. The full timeline from preliminary approval to checks in the mail typically runs six months to over a year, longer if objections or appeals are filed.
Who Will Likely Be Covered
The eventual class will almost certainly include U.S. residents who used the Life360 app during a defined period. Based on the allegations, the class period could begin as early as 2016 and run through the date a settlement is reached, though the court will set the exact window.
Some class members will receive direct notice by email at the address tied to their Life360 account, or by physical mail. If you believe you qualify but don’t receive a notice, you’ll typically be able to file a claim by providing the email address associated with your account during the class period. The administrator verifies eligibility against internal account records, so the email you enter has to match what Life360 had on file.
What the Claim Form Will Likely Ask
Privacy class action claim forms follow a fairly standard template. When the Life360 form goes live, expect fields for:
- A unique Class Member ID printed on your notice email or letter, which links your claim to the administrator’s records.
- The email address tied to your Life360 account during the class period, which serves as your primary identifier if you didn’t receive a notice with an ID.
- Your current legal name, mailing address, and phone number.
- A payment preference. Most modern settlement portals offer a digital option (PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle) or a physical check. Pick an account you’ll still have open months from now, because you generally can’t change the selection after submitting.
- An attestation under penalty of perjury, confirming your information is truthful and that you’re a legitimate class member.
The form itself takes only a few minutes. The most common reason claims get rejected is an email that doesn’t match the administrator’s records. If you’ve switched email addresses over the years, use the one you had when you first created your Life360 account.
Deadlines and How Payment Will Work
Once the portal opens, you’ll be able to submit online or by mailing a printed form to the administrator’s address. Online submissions generate a confirmation number; save it or take a screenshot. Paper submissions must be postmarked by the deadline. Late claims are excluded regardless of whether the person is otherwise eligible.
Deadlines in privacy class actions typically give you 60 to 120 days from the notice date. Set a calendar reminder as soon as a notice arrives.
No per-person payment figure exists yet, because the total settlement fund hasn’t been announced. Comparable privacy cases have produced individual payments ranging roughly from $50 to $500, but the actual amount will depend on the fund size, how many people file valid claims, and how attorney fees (commonly 25 to 33 percent of the fund) are handled. Filing early doesn’t increase your share. The math happens after the deadline, once all valid claims are counted, so a share can shrink on a pro rata basis when participation is high or come in larger when participation is low.
Opting Out or Objecting
If you want to preserve the right to sue Life360 individually, you can opt out during a window defined in the court-approved notice, usually 30 to 60 days after notice is mailed. Opting out means no settlement payment, but you keep your own legal claim. For most users, the settlement share will exceed what an individual suit would realistically recover after legal costs.
If you want to stay in the class but think the terms are unfair, you can file an objection with the court before the final approval hearing. You don’t need a lawyer to object, but you do have to follow the formatting and deadline instructions in the notice exactly.
Taxes on Any Payment
Settlement payments for privacy violations are generally taxable. The IRS treats settlement proceeds as gross income under Internal Revenue Code Section 61 unless a specific exclusion applies, and the main exclusion under Section 104 covers only damages for physical injury or sickness.3Internal Revenue Service.

If your share reaches $600 or more, expect a Form 1099-MISC from the administrator.4Internal Revenue Service. About Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Information Even a smaller payment that doesn’t trigger a 1099 is still reportable income.
How To Track the Real Settlement Site
The most reliable way to follow the case is through the federal court’s PACER system, where all filings in Case No. 3:23-cv-00168 are public. Once a settlement is approved, the court will authorize a dedicated settlement website that carries the official claim form, deadlines, hearing dates, and administrator contact information. Until that site exists, no third-party page can legitimately accept a Life360 claim. If someone tries, walk away.
