Own an iPhone? Google could owe you £750 in compensation for 'illegal' tracking of your data
iPhone owners could be set for a £750 windfall from Google.

The multinational search company faces mass legal action over claims it quietly tracked millions of iPhone users in the UK.

Google siphoned personal data, including information on physical and mental heath, political affiliations, sexuality and sexual interests from iPhone users and used it to divide people into categories for advertisers, the High Court heard.

The Mountain View company is being sued by a collective calling itself 'Google You Owe Us', which is being led by former Which? director Richard Lloyd.

Some 4.4 million iPhone users are believed to have been affected.

'Google You Owe Us' hopes to win compensation of at least £1 billion, however, court filings reveal the collective is looking for a maximum payout of £3.2 billion.

That would amount to £750 per iPhone user.
