Life360 is a popular family safety mobile app that allows users to share real-time location information with trusted contacts—often used by parents to keep track of their kids or by families to coordinate travel and check-ins. With over 300 million downloads worldwide, the app provides features like crash detection, location history, and movement reports. But according to a recent lawsuit filed by the Texas Attorney General, the app may have been quietly sharing Life360 user’s personally identifying information (“PII”), geolocation, and movement data with insurance companies—without their knowledge.
In January 2025, the Texas Attorney General filed a lawsuit against Allstate and its data analytics subsidiary, Arity, alleging they unlawfully collected, used, and sold sensitive driving data from millions of consumers without proper notice or consent. The lawsuit alleges that Allstate and Arity paid developers of popular mobile apps—including Life360, GasBuddy, Fuel Rewards, and Routely—to embed tracking software into their applications. This software, known as a software development kit (SDK), allegedly collected users' real-time location, movement patterns, and driving behaviors without their knowledge or consent. The collected data was used to build what Arity marketed as the "world’s largest driving behavior database," encompassing information on over 45 million Americans.
Life360, a family safety and location-sharing app, is implicated in the lawsuit due to its alleged integration of Arity's tracking software. Users who downloaded Life360 and granted location permissions were allegedly unaware that their data was being collected and sold to third parties, including insurance companies. The Texas Attorney General's Office alleges further that this lack of transparency and consent constitutes a violation of Texas privacy and consumer protection laws.
