$12M Speedway BIPA violation class action settlement

Speedway agreed to pay more than $12 million to resolve claims it violated Illinois privacy laws by requiring employee fingerprint scans to clock in and out of work.

The Speedway settlement benefits individuals who used a finger scanner on a time clock while working for Speedway in Illinois between Sept. 1, 2012, and Nov. 1, 2017.

According to the class action lawsuit, Speedway violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) by requiring employees to scan their fingerprints to clock in and out of work. The plaintiff in the case says that Speedway failed to provide the required disclosures and get the necessary consent before collecting and storing his biometrics.

Speedway is a gas station and convenience store chain with locations across the Midwest.

Speedway has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $12,122,775 class action settlement to resolve the BIPA allegations.

Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive an equal share of the net settlement fund.

According to the settlement website, each class member is estimated to receive $970. Actual payments may be higher or lower depending on the number of participating class members.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Sept. 16, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the Speedway settlement is scheduled for Oct. 21, 2025.

No claim form is required to benefit from the settlement. Class members who do not exclude themselves will automatically receive settlement benefits.
