$3.8M DaVita data privacy class action settlement

DaVita Inc. agreed to pay $3.8 million to resolve claims it improperly disclosed patients’ personally identifiable and protected health information through third-party web tracking tools.

The DaVita settlement benefits DaVita patients who visited any websites, patient portals or mobile apps the company owns at least once between Nov. 20, 2017, and Sept. 21, 2023.

The data privacy class action lawsuit alleges DaVita used third-party web tracking and analytics tools on its websites, which disclosed web usage data to third parties, such as Facebook and Google. 

DaVita is a health care company that provides dialysis services to patients with chronic kidney failure.

DaVita hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $3.8 million settlement to resolve the data privacy class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the DaVita settlement, class members can receive one free year of Privacy Shield, a data protection and monitoring service. Class members can also receive a pro rata cash payment. Payment amounts will vary depending on the number of valid claims filed and other factors.

The exclusion and objection deadline was Nov. 4, 2024.

The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Dec. 16, 2024.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Dec. 4, 2024.
