$4.5M The Criterion Collection subscription class action settlement

The Criterion Collection has agreed to pay $4.5 million to resolve claims it violated privacy laws by sharing subscriber information with third parties.

The Criterion Collection settlement benefits individuals who were registered users or had a subscription to the Criterion Channel service between Sept. 27, 2022, and Dec. 27, 2024, and who watched a pre-recorded video through the service.

A class action lawsuit accused The Criterion Collection of violating several privacy laws by sharing subscriber information with third parties such as Meta and Twilio. Plaintiffs in the case claimed that they did not consent to the sharing of their information when purchasing a The Criterion Collection subscription and that this sharing violated their privacy rights.

The Criterion Collection is a film distribution company that offers a streaming service called Criterion Channel.

The Criterion Collection hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to this $4.5 million class action settlement to resolve these allegations.

Under the terms of the The Criterion Collection settlement, class members can receive a cash payment. Exact payment amounts will vary depending on the number of claims filed with the settlement. No payment estimates are available at this time.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Aug. 19, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the Criterion Collection subscription settlement is scheduled for Oct. 15, 2025.

In order to receive a settlement payment, class members must submit a valid claim form by Aug. 19, 2025.
