Confi-Chek agreed to a $4.89 million PeopleFinders settlement to resolve claims it used consumer information to advertise its services in violation of Illinois law.
The settlement benefits Illinois residents whose name PeopleFinders displayed on its website and users clicked on between Nov. 2, 2021, and Jan. 1, 2023.
Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit claim Confi-Chek used their information for advertising the PeopleFinders website without their consent. This usage allegedly violated Illinois’ Right of Publicity Act.
PeopleFinders is a website Confi-Chek operates that allows users to search people and reverse search phone numbers.
Confi-Chek hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay more than $4.89 million to resolve the privacy class action lawsuit.
Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive an equal share of the net settlement fund. Each claimant is estimated to receive between $89 and $178, though actual payments may be higher or lower depending on the number of claims filed.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Oct. 7, 2024.
The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Nov. 14, 2024.
To receive PeopleFinders settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Oct. 7, 2024.

Add me.
For those asking why this suit doesn’t include your, or all states, while I’m not an attorney, nor do I have any *formal* training in this area, my gut instinct anyway, is telling me that at this particular suit involved the states it did purely due to the fact that small handfuls of people in both states recognized their rights, under very specific individual state laws, had been violated, and they got together with a firm which is licensed to practice in both the states involved in order to bring about the class action suit. Those whose states were NOT included MAY NOT have a law like the one which was violated for these residents (something to the effect of, the right to privacy in advertisement; or in other words, for someone to use your name and personal information for the purposes of advertising their business without your explicit consent is considered a violation of this law), and if other states do not have this on their books, (and I’m going to assume that for a lawsuit, things have to be pretty specifically worded if there IS some kind of law, in order for it to be considered a violation worth pursuing in court) I can’t see how they would have been able to be included, as crappy as that is. The OTHER, but also VERY PLAUSIBLE scenario is, perhaps this was noticed by the folks in the 2 states and they acted very quickly, and any others whose rights were violated have equal freedom to expose the very same details and bring about similar suits, and this may have been their mentality, if they weren’t prevented from including everyone else by legal technicalities such as what I mentioned before, being verbage in individual states’ privacy laws. I’m thinking that’s more the case, here. For those of you in other states wondering about this whose names were used for advertising purposes on the site, I’d encourage you to consult with lawyers to see what your rights are. You could be entitled to a nice clean up. Might very well be worth dropping an email, if nothing else.
