They provided a well detail email about the options I have and I wanted to know if I should just settle for the $12 or can I go bigger they have broken my rights and invaded my privacy

A: Trying to file a lawsuit as an individual against a company like Google is not going to be cost effective. You don't even know if your legal fees will be covered or not. Most litigants in a class action settlement get next to nothing. I personally, would take the $12.00 and move on.
