SAN FRANCISCO — A privacy class action targeting mobile handset makers over built-in tracking software has settled for what amounts to pennies per class member.

Plaintiffs lawyers at Pearson, Simon & Warshaw and Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro outlined the $9 million settlement in court papers filed Friday. The proposed deal, which would resolve claims brought on behalf of about 79 million consumers, is subject to approval from U.S. District Judge Edward Chen.
