Jumio has agreed to pay $7 million to resolve claims that they violated Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) by collecting, storing and selling consumers’ biometric data.
The settlement benefits Illinois residents whose biometrics were collected, captured, purchased, or obtained by Jumio between Dec. 21, 2013 and Dec. 23, 2019.
Plaintiff Alex Prelipceanu filed his Jumio class action lawsuit in December 2018, alleging that he and other consumers had their biometrics collected, stored and sold by the company. He claimed that he and others had not consented to having their biometrics used by the company.
The biometrics were reportedly collected through Jumio’s NetVerify service – an identity and age verification service offered for websites. The service reportedly scans an uploaded picture of a consumer’s face to verify identity or age.
According to the Jumio class action lawsuit, the company violated the Illinois’ BIPA. This state law requires companies to have consumer consent before collecting and disclosing biometric data such as fingerprints and facial scans. The law also requires this data to be stored securely and destroyed in a timely manner.
Jumio has not admitted any wrongdoing but has agreed to pay $7 million to resolve the BIPA class action lawsuit against them.
Under the settlement, Class Members can collect an equal share of the net settlement fund. No payment estimates are available as they will depend on the number of claims filed and the net settlement fund after fees and costs are deducted.

Day 2 still waiting I hate my post office mail slow as hell maybe tomorrow
I still haven’t received anything either
Hi I’m curious to know if you recieved your check yet?? I’m having the same issue. I seen on my informed delivery app incoming mail from IDBIPA settlement on 10/26/2020 but didn’t get anything it’s been over a week. I have been looking for a phone number to speak to a live person & had no luck. Post office is no help either.
Received a check today for $262.28 For me it came at the right time…THANK YOU….
got a check for $262.28
It’s legit, the case is online and the settlement is on there as well. I cashed mine 20 minutes ago.
I did a mobile deposit through my bank’s app and it was in my account within 30 minutes. I didn’t think they would be coming until the first of the year so this was a surprise and made me skeptical, but it came early and at a time I could really use it.
I received a check today and I am of course skeptical about it being legitimate. I tried to call the 1-866-524-0722 number on the letter with the check, but couldn’t get a live person on the line. I’m not sure whether to cash this or not.
It’s definitely legit. How much was yours for?
$262.28
Just received a check for 262.28$. Are these legit? I have no idea if or when my biometrics were taken
