Privacy and data-tracking settlements
Privacy settlements resolve claims that a company collected, kept, or shared personal data without permission — face and fingerprint scans, voice recordings, location history, browsing activity, or health information. Illinois biometric cases have paid the most per person, sometimes several hundred dollars, because the state's Biometric Information Privacy Act sets damages per violation. Each settlement below shows what it paid and whether the claim window is closed.
