Privacy class action settlements
Privacy class actions cover companies accused of collecting or sharing personal information without permission: tracking pixels that sent browsing or video-watching history to advertisers, fingerprints and face scans taken without written consent, session recording, and unwanted calls and texts.
These settlements often pay well because the underlying statutes set damages per person. The pages below list who qualifies, what each one pays, and the deadline. Sparrow fills in the claim form for you and files it.

Privacy settlement FAQs
Common questions about privacy class action settlements.
What counts as a privacy class action?
In practice, four kinds: tracking-pixel and video-viewing cases, biometric cases about fingerprints or face scans, session-recording and wiretapping cases about what a website captured, and robocall or text-message cases. They are grouped here because the claim is the same in shape: information was collected or shared without the permission the law requires.
Do I need proof that I used the website or app?
Often not. Many privacy settlements ask only that you attest you used the service during the class period, because the company already holds the records. Each settlement page says whether documentation is required.
Why do some privacy settlements pay more than others?
Because the statute sets the floor. Biometric and wiretapping laws in some states allow fixed damages per person, so those settlements pay more per claimant than a typical consumer case. The final amount still depends on how many valid claims are filed.
