Arity reportedly paid app makers (Life360 among the apps named) millions of dollars in total to embed Allstate subsidiary Arity's tracking software inside its app — meaning the family-safety app parents use to check on their kids was PAID to secretly funnel braking, acceleration, speed, and route data into what Arity itself called 'the world's largest driving behavior database,' allegedly sold to insurers to help justify premium increases (Texas says data was collected from more than 45 million Americans). You opened Life360 to check on your teenager; Arity was allegedly reading your driving habits in real time, with no pop-up ever telling you that's what was happening. As of mid-2026, there's no active settlement or claim form for affected users — the original 2023 class action was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs, and the live Texas Attorney General case is against Allstate and Arity directly, not Life360 itself, so there's currently no formal path for an ordinary Life360 customer to be compensated even though their data allegedly fueled the whole system.

Terms
Arbitration
A related but distinct case (Ireland-Gordy v. Tile, Life360, Amazon) alleges Life360's Tile tracker product enables STALKING through design flaws — one plaintiff found a hidden Tile in her car that had allegedly been used by an ex-partner to track her, exploiting a 'Anti-Theft Mode' feature that makes trackers invisible to scanning apps meant to help victims detect covert tracking devices. On March 3, 2026, a Ninth Circuit panel (non-precedential, No. 25-403) held that two plaintiffs were on notice of Tile's amended Terms of Service through an October 2023 email, reversing the district court and sending their claims to ARBITRATION; no resolution of the underlying claims has been reported.
Data sharing
FTC CONTEXT (no Life360 order): the FTC's 2024–2025 location-data enforcement actions named data brokers such as X-Mode, InMarket, Gravy Analytics and Mobilewalla; no FTC order against Life360 itself was found. A 2023 class action (E.S. et al. v. Life360) alleged the company sold geolocation data — including CHILDREN'S LOCATIONS — to data brokers; that case was reportedly voluntarily dismissed with prejudice in Nov 2023 (docket not re-verified this pass), but attorneys shifted to individual arbitration claims instead. SEPARATE, ONGOING ISSUE: Life360's driving-behavior data has reportedly been shared via ARITY (an Allstate subsidiary) with insurers, and law firms have reportedly investigated (status not re-verified as of Oct 2026) whether Life360 users saw unexplained car-insurance premium increases (2022–2025) tied to this secret data-sharing pipeline — the Texas AG has separately sued Allstate/Arity directly over this practice. A 2024 DATA BREACH exposed personal information of approximately 442,000 users (names, email addresses and phone numbers scraped via an API flaw — not financial credentials — Life360 did not treat it as a full account compromise, though exposed data is sufficient for targeted phishing).
