Brigham Young University (BYU) Broadcasting agreed to pay more than $1.5 million to resolve a class action lawsuit claiming it violated the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) by sharing BYUtv subscriber data with Meta without consent.
The BYUtv settlement benefits individuals who had a Facebook account, a registered account with BYUtv and who viewed one or more videos on byutv.org between Nov. 12, 2022, and May 9, 2025.
Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit accused BYUtv of violating the VPPA by disclosing subscriber information to Meta through a Meta Pixel on its website. This pixel allegedly allowed BYUtv to share information about the videos users watched on the platform.
Brigham Young University is a private university in Provo, Utah. BYUtv is the university’s television network.
BYU Broadcasting has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $1.5 million class action settlement to resolve the allegations.
Under the terms of the BYUtv 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 with the settlement. No payment estimates are available at this time.
In addition to providing cash payments, BYU Broadcasting agreed to suspend the operation of the Meta Pixel on BYUtv pages that include video content. This change will help BYU Broadcasting comply with the VPPA and other privacy laws.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Oct. 14, 2025.
The final approval hearing for the BYUtv settlement is scheduled for Nov. 20, 2025.
To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Oct. 14, 2025.
Who’s Eligible
The settlement benefits individuals who, between Nov. 12, 2022, and May 9, 2025, simultaneously had a Facebook account, a registered account with BYUtv and viewed one or more videos on byutv.org.
