TikTok Settlement: Illinois residents who use the video app may be eligible to claim some of a $92 million class action privacy lawsuit settlement.
The settlement resolves claims that the popular video-sharing app violated Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act by unlawfully collecting biometric information and privacy data from uses then disclosing it to third parties without telling them.
In addition to the cash settlement, the agreement requires TikTok to create data privacy measures including a training and compliance program for new employees and contractors, as well as instituting annual privacy training for all employees. The settlement comes with two classes: a nationwide class and an Illinois class. Anyone living in the state of Illinois who used the app in Illinois to create video before September 30, 2021 is eligible for a settlement, which could be as much as six times more than claims in the nationwide class.
