Star Tribune Media Co. has agreed to a $2.9 million Star Tribune settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit claiming the newspaper illegally shared data related to subscribers’ video-watching habits with Facebook.
The Star Tribune settlement class consists of anyone in the United States who has or had a Facebook account and has or had a digital subscription or a home delivery subscription that includes digital access to the Star Tribune and who viewed videos on the Star Tribune’s website between July 7, 2020, and Feb. 5, 2024.
Plaintiffs allege the Star Tribune disclosed its digital subscriber’s personally identifiable information to Facebook without permission, violating the Video Privacy Protection Act. The newspaper allegedly embedded a Meta Pixel tracker on its website, sending Facebook details of users’ video viewing history.
Star Tribune Media Co. is a locally owned media company serving Minnesota and the upper Midwest. It is the fifth-largest newspaper in the United States.
While Star Tribune Media denies any allegations of wrongdoing, it has agreed to establish a settlement fund of $2.9 million to resolve the claims.Â
Eligible class members can submit a claim form to receive a proportionate share of the Star Tribune settlement fund; the payout per claimant will depend on how many class members submit approved claims.
The deadline to opt out of or object to the settlement is May 6, 2024.
A final approval hearing in the Star Tribune settlement will take place May 20, 2024.
The deadline to submit a claim form is July 5, 2024.
