Google has agreed to pay $68 million to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging its voice-activated assistant illegally recorded and shared the plaintiffs’ private conversations with third parties without their consent.

A preliminary settlement agreement was filed Friday in a Northern California federal court and still requires a judge’s approval.

Plaintiffs had alleged that when Google Assistant was triggered, the tech giant began recording their words and then disclosed them to third parties in order to sell targeted advertising.

Google Assistant engages when users say “Hey Google.” The plaintiffs alleged that they received targeted ads after Google Assistant misheard them and improperly triggered Assistant. 

The settlement funds will be distributed to people who bought Google devices since May 2016.

Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment but reportedly agreed to settle without an admission of wrongdoing.
