Alphabet's Google convinced a federal judge in San Francisco to reject a request for an additional $2.36 billion in penalties.
The class-action lawsuit alleged Google improperly collected data from users who had disabled a specific tracking feature. This ruling prevents further financial damages on top of a previous jury verdict.
Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg issued the decision. The ruling denies the plaintiffs' bid to force Google to disgorge alleged profits. It also denies the bid to halt certain data practices related to advertising.
This follows a September jury verdict. That jury found Google liable for secretly collecting app activity data but did not recommend profit disgorgement.
