Magid Glove has agreed to a $5.175 million settlement to resolve claims that it violated Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) by using fingerprint time clocks and temperature scanners without properly disclosing the collection of biometric data. This settlement benefits individuals who used these devices at Magid’s Romeoville, Illinois, facility between January 8, 2016, and August 30, 2024.
The class action lawsuit alleged that Magid Glove collected biometric data through fingerprint-scan time clocks and temperature scanners without providing the required disclosures under Illinois law. The plaintiffs claimed these practices violated BIPA, which mandates informed consent and specific disclosures before collecting biometric data such as fingerprints and temperature readings.
Magid Glove, a manufacturer of work gloves, personal protective equipment, and industrial safety products, denies any wrongdoing but agreed to the settlement to resolve the claims.
Under the settlement, individuals who used a fingerprint-scan time clock at Magid’s Romeoville facility during the eligible period may receive payments of approximately $3,244.38. Those who had their temperature taken with a scanner may receive up to $135.26. The exact payment amounts may vary depending on the number of claims filed and adjustments required based on the net settlement fund.
