What is the Clearview AI Facial Recognition Privacy Class Action?

The Clearview AI privacy class action, known as In re Clearview AI, Inc. Consumer Privacy Litigation, addresses allegations that Clearview AI violated privacy and data protection laws across various U.S. states. The lawsuit claims that Clearview AI collected facial images from public social media platforms like Meta (Facebook), Twitter, and Instagram without consent. These images were allegedly stored in a searchable biometric database and later sold or provided to others. Clearview AI denies these allegations and any wrongdoing. The settlement aims to resolve the lawsuit and avoid the costs and risks of a trial, without admitting guilt.

What is the Total Clearview AI Settlement Amount?

The total settlement amount will be determined based on future events:

  1. Initial Public Offering (IPO): If Clearview goes public, the Settlement Fund will be calculated as 23% of Clearview’s shares as of September 6, 2023, multiplied by the IPO price listed in the final prospectus.
  2. Mergers or Asset Sales: If Clearview merges or sells assets, the Settlement Fund will be a cash payment equal to what the Settlement Class would have received if it held 23% of Clearview’s shares before the transaction.
  3. Other Scenarios: If neither of the above events occurs by December 31, 2027, Clearview may be required to fund the settlement with a cash payment equal to 17% of its revenue from the date of Final Approval to the date of the Cash Demand.

How Do I Qualify for a Payout?

To qualify for a payout, you must be a member of the Settlement Class, which includes U.S. residents who are 18 years or older and whose facial images might be stored in Clearview’s Biometric Database. There are specific subclasses for residents of California, Illinois, New York, and Virginia. To receive a payout, you need to submit a valid Claim Form by the deadline. If you received a notice by mail or email, you may already be identified as a potential class member, but you can still file a claim even without a notice. More details can be found from the Clearview AI class action administrators (see links below).
