How payment works

Payments were variable, so the amount each claimant received depended on how many valid claims were filed against the fund.

Filing this claim

The claim deadline passed on December 24, 2024, so the settlement administrator is no longer accepting claim forms. If you filed before the deadline, payment timing is set by the administrator, not by Sparrow.

Thomson Reuters CLEAR Class Action Settlement FAQs

Common questions about this class action settlement.

Who was covered?

Anyone who resided in California for any period of time between December 3, 2016 and October 31, 2024. Residence during the class period was the entire eligibility test, which made this class unusually broad: no purchase, account or dealing with the company was required.

What was the case about?

The class was defined by California residence during the class period under California law, which is why residence rather than any transaction was the eligibility test. The record does not describe the claims in more detail.

Was proof required?

No. Claims could be filed without documentation. No class member could realistically prove what a data product held about them, so the settlement relied on a self certified statement of California residence during the period.

When will I get paid?

Payment timing is set by the settlement administrator, not Sparrow. Administrators usually pay after the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved, which can take several months or longer after the claim deadline.

Can I still file a claim?

No. The deadline was December 24, 2024 and it has passed. This page remains as a record of what the settlement covered, and the official long form notice is still available online.
