This lawsuit alleges Meta improperly inferred the location of Facebook users in the United States through their IP addresses even if a Facebook user had turned off location services on their iOS or Android device for the Facebook application.Â
Meta expressly denies any liability or wrongdoing.
The settlement class includes all natural persons residing in the United States who used Facebook between Jan. 30, 2015, and April 18, 2018, inclusive, and whose iOS or Android Location Services setting for the Facebook application was turned off at any point during that period, but whose location information was inferred by Facebook via the user’s IP Addresses.
Consumers may file a claim if they reside in the United States, used Facebook between Jan. 30, 2015, and April 18, 2018, inclusive, and believe their iOS or Android Location Services setting for the Facebook application was turned off at any point during that period.
If the settlement is approved by the court, the defendant will establish a settlement fund of $37.5 million to pay all valid claims submitted by the settlement class members (unless deemed economically or administratively infeasible as determined by the court), as well as notice and administration expenses, attorneys’ fees and costs, and service awards for the settlement class representatives.
If the court determines the number of claims made renders it economically or administratively infeasible to pay money to persons who make a timely and valid claim, payment will instead be made to non-profit organizations as approved by the court. In other words, in this situation, class members who made claims will not receive payment, but rather the settlement fund will be distributed to non-profit organizations.
The deadline to submit a claim form is Aug. 11, 2023.
Settlement class members who wish to exclude themselves from the settlement must do so no later than Aug. 11, 2023. Settlement class members who wish to object to the settlement must do so no later than Oct. 5, 2023.
The court has scheduled a final approval hearing at 10 a.m. Pacific on Oct. 19, 2023.
Who’s Eligible
All natural persons residing in the United States who used Facebook between Jan. 30, 2015, and April 18, 2018, inclusive, and whose iOS or Android Location Services setting for the Facebook application was turned off at any point during that period, but whose location information was inferred by Facebook via the user’s IP addresses.
