Oct 23 (Reuters) - U.S. Google users who won a $425

million jury verdict in a consumer privacy class action last

month have asked a federal judge to force the Alphabet

unit to forfeit an additional $2.36 billion in profits.

The consumers in a Wednesday court filing called the amount

a "conservative approximation" of Google's allegedly ill-gotten

gains after the jury found the company secretly collected app

activity data from millions of users who had disabled an account

tracking feature.

"The jury found that Google's conduct was highly offensive,

harmful, and without consent," the consumers told Chief U.S.

District Judge Richard Seeborg in San Francisco, who must decide

if disgorgement of profits is allowed and necessary in the

case.

GOOGLE HAS DENIED WRONGDOING, SAID IT WILL APPEAL

The plaintiffs called the $425 million damages verdict

"clearly insufficient to remedy the ongoing and irreparable harm

that Google's conduct continues to inflict."

Google and attorneys for the plaintiffs did not immediately

respond to requests for comment.

Google has denied wrongdoing and said it will appeal. It

argued the data it collected was anonymized and that its privacy

tools give users control over their data.

The 2020 lawsuit alleged Google over an eight-year period

accessed users' mobile devices to collect, save and use their

data, violating privacy assurances under an account setting

called Web & App Activity.

The jury found Google liable on two of three privacy claims

brought by the plaintiffs, who had sought more than $31 billion

in damages at trial.

Despite the verdict, Google has not changed its privacy

disclosures or data collection practices, the plaintiffs said.

Google on Wednesday asked Seeborg to decertify the class of

98 million users and 174 million devices, arguing that the

claims depend on individualized factors such as app usage and

user expectations. It also urged the judge to vacate the

verdict, citing a lack of common issues.
