Sky Zone, a national chain of indoor trampoline parks, has agreed to pay $1.05 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging violations of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA). The lawsuit claimed Sky Zone collected employee fingerprints through a timekeeping system without obtaining proper informed consent.

While Sky Zone denies any wrongdoing, they agreed to the settlement to resolve the lawsuit. Here's what eligible class members can expect:

• Equal Share of Net Settlement Fund: Class members will receive an equal share of the remaining settlement amount after legal fees and administration costs are deducted.
  
  
• Estimated Payment: Each class member is estimated to receive between $350 and $650, but the exact amount will depend on the number of valid claims filed.
