Background of the V Shred Data Privacy Class Action Settlement
V Shred, a fitness and nutrition company known for its digital workout programs and supplements, has come under scrutiny for its data-sharing practices. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit claimed that V Shred unlawfully shared consumer data with third parties—including tech platforms like Facebook and Google—without obtaining user consent.
The class action lawsuit cited violations of the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) and Florida’s Security of Communications Act, both designed to protect consumer privacy in digital interactions. The complaint focused on V Shred’s use of tracking tools embedded in its platforms that allegedly transmitted identifying data.
Though V Shred has denied any wrongdoing, the company agreed to a $4 million settlement to resolve the claims and avoid further litigation.

- Sharing personal identifying information with third parties without consent.
