$4.5M GameStop Facebook privacy class action settlement

GameStop agreed to a $4.5 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it violated the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) by sharing consumer information with Facebook.

The GameStop VPPA class action settlement benefits individuals who purchased a video game from the company’s website between Aug. 18, 2020, and April 7, 2025, and who had a public Facebook profile using their actual name at the time of purchase.

GameStop is a video game retailer with locations around the United States. The company also sells video games and consoles through its website.

According to the class action lawsuit, GameStop violated the VPPA by sharing consumer information with Facebook via a tracking pixel on its website. This pixel allegedly allowed GameStop to share information about the video games consumers purchased with Facebook, including information about the specific games purchased by consumers.

GameStop has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $4.5 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve the allegations.

Under the terms of the GameStop settlement, class members can receive either a cash payment or a voucher.

Cash payments are capped at $5 per class member. Vouchers are capped at $10 per class member. Class members may only select one of these options and cannot receive both a cash payment and a voucher.

In addition to providing cash and vouchers to class members, the settlement requires GameStop to suspend the operation of the Facebook tracking pixel on its website. This change will help protect consumer privacy and ensure GameStop is compliant with the VPPA.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Aug. 15, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the GameStop VPPA class action settlement is scheduled for Sept. 18, 2025.

To receive a payment from the GameStop settlement, class members must submit a valid claim form by Aug. 15, 2025.
