AMC+ Privacy Violations Settlement: $8.3M

You are included in the Class Action Settlement Class if you are an individual residing in the United States who, from January 18, 2021, to and through January 10, 2024: (1) was a registered user of AMC Services and (2) requested or obtained video content on at least one of the six AMC Services.  Note that you are not included in the Settlement Class if you have previously engaged counsel to assert an arbitration claim on your behalf.

Yes, proof is required.

Individuals included in the Class Action Settlement will be eligible to receive a cash payment  pro rata (meaning equal) portion of the Settlement Fund, after deducting any Court-approved attorneys’ fees and expenses, service award for the class representatives, costs of settlement administration, and any taxes.

The Settlement also provides for in-kind relief: a one week digital subscription to the AMC+ streaming service for all Settlement Class Members whose claims are submitted and approved.

The Class Action Settlement also requires AMC to suspend, remove or modify operation of the Facebook Pixel and other Third-Party Tracking Technologies so that use of such technologies on any AMC Service will not result in AMC’s disclosure to the third-party technology companies of the specific video content requested or obtained by a specific individual, unless and until the VPPA were to be: (a) amended to expressly permit (and not to prohibit) the Released Claims, (b) repealed, (c) invalidated by a judicial decision on the use of website pixel and/or tracking technologies by the United States Supreme Court, or the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, or (d) interpreted by a judicial decision on the use of website pixel and/or tracking technologies by the United States Supreme Court, or the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to permit the contemplated use.
