This notice is to inform you that a proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit between Tubi, Inc. (“Tubi”) and an individual who used the Tubi video streaming service.
The lawsuit alleges that Tubi violated a federal law called the Video Privacy Protection Act (“VPPA”) when it allegedly disclosed the “personally identifiable information” (as defined in the VPPA) of Tubi users in connection with advertising allegedly targeted at those users.
The case is Gregory v. Tubi, Inc., Case No. 2024-LA-0000209, currently pending in the Circuit Court for the 17th Judicial Circuit, Winnebago County, Illinois. The proposed Settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing by Tubi, and Tubi denies that it violated the law. T
he Court has not decided who is right or wrong. Rather, to avoid the time, expense, and uncertainty of litigation, the Parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit. The Settlement has been preliminarily approved by a court in Winnebago County, Illinois.
Why Am I Being Contacted? Our records indicate that you may have used the Tubi video streaming service during the relevant time period. Any user of the Tubi video streaming service at any time between June 23, 2021, and August 26, 2024, may be eligible to receive cash benefits from this Settlement.
What Does The Settlement Provide? If you’re eligible, you can file a claim to receive a cash payment. Each Settlement Class Member who submits a timely, valid Claim Form will receive an equal share of a $19,990,000 fund that Tubi has agreed to create, after the payment of settlement expenses, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and any service award for the named plaintiff in the litigation approved by the Court. The amount of such payment is unknown at this time and depends largely on the number of valid claims submitted.
How Do I Get My Payment? Just complete and verify the short and simple Claim Form online HERE, or you can visit www.VideoStreamingSettlement.com or download a Claim Form and submit it by mail.
You can also email the settlement administrator at info@videostreamingsettlement.com to request an electronic or paper copy of the Claim Form to be sent to you. All Claim Forms must be submitted online or postmarked by November 28, 2024.
What are My Options?
The only way to receive any payment from this settlement is to timely submit a valid Claim Form. You can also choose to do nothing, comment on or object to any of the settlement terms, or exclude yourself from the settlement.
If you do nothing, you will not receive any money from the settlement and you will not be able to sue Tubi or certain related companies and individuals in a future lawsuit about the claims addressed in the settlement.
If you exclude yourself, you won’t get a payment but you’ll keep your right to sue Tubi on the issues the settlement concerns. You must contact the settlement administrator by mail or e-mail to exclude yourself by October 31, 2024. You can also object to the settlement if you disagree with any of its terms. All objections must be received by October 31, 2024. Visit www.VideoStreamingSettlement.com for more information about your options and related deadlines.
Do I Have a Lawyer? Yes. The Court has appointed lawyers from the law firm McGuire Law, P.C. as “Class Counsel.” They represent you and other settlement class members. The lawyers will request to be paid from the total amount that Tubi paid into the settlement fund. You can hire your own lawyer, but you’ll need to pay that lawyer’s legal fees. The Court has also chosen Jacqueline Gregory—a class member like you—to represent the Settlement Class.
When Will the Court Approve the Settlement? The Court will hold a Final Approval Hearing on December 4, 2024, at 11:00 a.m., before the Honorable Ronald A. Barch in Courtroom 426 of the Winnebago County Courthouse, 400 West State Street, Rockford, Illinois 61101 (Zoom ID: 848 2994 9543).
The Court will hear objections, determine if the settlement is fair, made in good faith, and consider Class Counsel’s request for fees of up to 35% of the settlement fund, plus expenses, and a Service award to the Class Representative of $5,000. Class Counsel’s request will be available on the settlement website.
