As of mid-2026, there is no approved class action settlement in any Life360 lawsuit, and no fund that users can file a claim against. The company has faced three distinct waves of litigation — over selling precise location data, over its Tile subsidiary’s role in stalking, and over two 2024 data breaches — but the location-data case was dismissed, the Tile case has been ordered into arbitration, and the largest active case names Allstate and its subsidiary Arity as defendants rather than Life360 itself.
The 2023 Location Data Sales Case
The first major suit grew out of a December 2021 investigation by The Markup, which reported that Life360 was selling precise, real-time location data — mobile advertising IDs, IP addresses, and latitude/longitude coordinates — to roughly a dozen brokers, including X-Mode (now Outlogic), SafeGraph, Cuebiq, and Allstate’s Arity. Data could reach partners within 20 minutes of being recorded, and a former X-Mode engineer described Life360’s feed as among the broker’s most valuable because of its precision and scale. In 2020, data sales brought in roughly $16 million (nearly 20 percent of Life360’s revenue that year), with an additional $6 million from Arity alone.1The Markup.

Life360 announced in January 2022 that it would stop selling precise location data to those brokers. It shifted to providing only aggregated data to Placer.ai but kept sharing precise data with Arity.2The Markup. Life360 Says It Will Stop Selling Precise Location Data
A year later, on January 12, 2023, a proposed class action was filed in the Northern District of California on behalf of a Florida minor and his family. The case, E.S. v. Life360, No. 3:23-cv-00168, alleged unjust enrichment from the sale of precise location data belonging to millions of users, largely children and families, without meaningful consent. The complaint argued the data could expose visits to places of worship, medical facilities, domestic abuse shelters, and homeless shelters, or be used to infer LGBTQ+ identity.3The Markup.

The Allstate and Arity Case: Where Life360 Sits Today
The most consequential active litigation touching Life360’s data doesn’t name Life360 as a defendant. On January 13, 2025, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Allstate and Arity under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, alleging they collected and sold the driving data of more than 45 million Americans without adequate notice or consent. The Attorney General described it as the first state enforcement action under a comprehensive data privacy law.5Texas Attorney General.

According to the complaint, Arity paid app developers to embed its tracking SDK, and Life360 was named as a primary example alongside GasBuddy, Routely, and Fuel Rewards. The data went beyond location, allegedly including accelerometer, gyroscopic, and magnetometer readings that let Arity track how far and how long a person drove, how hard they braked, and whether they used a phone behind the wheel. The state alleged Arity used “generous bonus incentives” to grow the dataset and maintained varying levels of control over the privacy disclosures shown to users. Allstate then allegedly used the data to raise premiums.6GovInfo. CFPB Comment on Allstate and Arity Data Practices
Private plaintiffs filed parallel class actions in federal court. On April 10, 2025, In re: Allstate & Arity Consumer Privacy Litigation, No. 1:25-cv-00407, and Mahoney v. Allstate Corp., No. 25-cv-01465, were consolidated in the Northern District of Illinois. The consolidated complaint alleges violations of the Federal Wiretap Act and the Stored Communications Act and links the data collection to “steep, unexplained increases” in insurance premiums.7Keller Rohrback. Allstate Driving Data Privacy Litigation
On March 3, 2026, U.S. District Judge Jeremy C. Daniel denied most of the defendants’ motion to dismiss. Only three counts fell out. Allstate and Arity filed their answer on April 24, 2026. No trial date has been set, and the plaintiffs have demanded a jury trial.7Keller Rohrback. Allstate Driving Data Privacy Litigation If you were a Life360 user whose driving data flowed through Arity, this case is the closest active vehicle for a claim, but Life360 itself is not a defendant in it.
The Tile Stalking Case
In August 2023, Shannon Ireland-Gordy and Stephanie Ireland-Gordy filed a class action in the Northern District of California against Tile, Life360, and Amazon.com. The complaint alleged that Tile’s Bluetooth trackers were designed in ways that enabled stalking — unencrypted signals, static identifiers — and that the defendants had been warned about the problem but declined to add meaningful safeguards. It also alleged Tile’s partnership with Amazon’s Sidewalk mesh network extended the trackers’ range, making non-consensual tracking more effective.8Business & Human Rights Resource Centre.

Claims included negligence, strict product liability for design defects, unjust enrichment, intrusion upon seclusion, and violations of California privacy and consumer protection statutes. In August 2025, the district court dismissed the Ireland-Gordy plaintiffs’ claims as time-barred. Two other plaintiffs, Melissa Broad and a Jane Doe, remained in the case, and Tile moved to force their claims into arbitration.9GovInfo. Ireland-Gordy v. Tile, Inc., Case No. 23-cv-04119
Judge Rita F. Lin denied that motion in December 2024, and Tile appealed. On March 3, 2026, the Ninth Circuit reversed, holding that Tile’s October 2023 email about updated terms (which included an arbitration clause) gave users adequate “inquiry notice,” and that continued use of the app after that email counted as assent.10U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Tile, Inc. v. Ireland-Gordy, No. 25-403 The court sent the case back with instructions to compel arbitration and to leave all issues, including the scope of the claims, to the arbitrator. The panel noted its decision was non-precedential and did not establish a blanket rule that mass-email notice is always sufficient.11Metropolitan News-Enterprise.

The 2024 Data Breaches
Life360 disclosed two separate security incidents in 2024, both on the Tile side of the business.
In June 2024, the company said an attacker used stolen credentials reportedly belonging to a former Tile employee to access a customer support platform.12BleepingComputer. Life360 Says Hacker Tried to Extort Them After Tile Data Breach Exposed information included customer names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and Tile device identification numbers. Location data, passwords, and financial information were not compromised, according to the company.13Life360. Unauthorized Access Incident CEO Chris Hulls said the hacker tried to extort Life360, and the company reported the matter to law enforcement.14The Verge. Tile Life360 Customer Data Breach Hacker Extortion
A separate incident tied to an API misconfiguration exposed roughly 443,000 user records — names, phone numbers, and email addresses — which were leaked on a hacking forum. Attorneys investigated potential claims tied to the API incident before ending their review, and no class has been certified from either breach.15ClassAction.org. Life360 Data Breach
Why a Class Settlement Is Unlikely, and What Users Can Actually Do
Life360’s current Terms of Service, updated April 14, 2026, require most disputes to go through individual arbitration rather than jury trials or class actions. They include provisions for mass filings and a limited window to opt out of the arbitration clause.16Life360. Life360 Terms of Service
The Ninth Circuit’s March 2026 ruling in the Tile case reinforced that structure: users who received the updated-terms email and kept using the app were bound by arbitration, even without clicking a separate pop-up. Direct class litigation against Life360 is harder as a result, and several firms are pursuing individual arbitration claims against the company over its data practices instead of trying to certify a class.4AS Law Online. Life360 Lawsuit
The practical picture as of mid-2026: the 2023 location-data suit was dismissed with prejudice; the Tile stalking suit is heading to arbitration; the two 2024 breaches have produced no certified class; and the consolidated Allstate/Arity case in Illinois, which survived dismissal in March 2026, is the main proceeding still moving forward, though Life360 is not a named defendant.7Keller Rohrback.
