Vimeo agreed to pay $2.25 million to resolve a class action lawsuit claiming it unlawfully collected biometrics from photos and videos uploaded to the Magisto app without consent, a violation of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA).
The BIPA settlement benefits Illinois residents who appear in a photo or video on the Magisto app and whose face was detected between Sept. 20, 2014, and Jan. 20, 2023.
According to the privacy class action lawsuit, Vimeo wrongfully collected facial geometry scans from the Magisto app for identification purposes. This practice allegedly violated BIPA.
Vimeo is a video-marketing company that owns Magisto, a video-editing application.
Vimeo hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $2.25 million class action settlement to resolve these allegations.
Under the terms of the Vimeo and Magisto class action lawsuit settlement, class members can receive an equal share of the net settlement fund.
Exact payment amounts will vary depending on the number of claims filed, but class counsel anticipates each class member will receive around $77.53.
Vimeo also agreed to delete all the facial geometry scans it collected from the Magisto app. In addition, the company agreed to comply with BIPA requirements going forward.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is May 5, 2023.
The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for June 29, 2023.
In order to receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by June 5, 2023.
