Google and Microsoft Ai claim

greatsparx

I have recently heard on the radio about claiming against Google and Microsoft for using personal data without consent. There as usual seems to be a law firm getting in early and charging the earth if you win or "don't co-operate" does anyone have an idea how to submit these claims and have a template to use?

Google and Microsoft ask you to read their terms and conditions and agree to them.
Have you ever read them to see what you have agreed to and what you haven’t?

I have heard some of these adverts, they seem to have no merit and I have heard them referred to as "Parasitic lawyers".

It's 100% a scam, just signup for MSE newsletter and Martin will let you know which bandwagon you can jump on next but more importantly the cheapest way to do it

Same way as you would any "claim"... you write to the relevant organisations with your allegations, evidence to substantiate the allegations, what you want in return and evidence to substantiate any financial losses. 

You'll need to check which legal jurisdiction applies in the T&Cs and then read up on the pre-action protocol for that jurisdiction. If it's England & Wales then you'd ultimately send a letter before action and then raise a claim in the county courts. Given its two US domiciled companies it may well be one of the states in which case the rules are likely different especially around important things like if you have to reimburse their solicitors costs when the claim fails.
