Illinois Settlements

4 open settlements only Illinois residents can claim.

Most Illinois-only settlements come from the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA). Since 2008 it has required companies to get written consent before collecting fingerprints, face scans or other biometric data from people in Illinois. People whose data was taken without consent can recover statutory damages of $1,000, or $5,000 if the violation was intentional or reckless.

Employee time clocks that scan fingerprints and apps that scan faces are the most common BIPA cases. If you lived or worked in Illinois and used one, check the list below.

Also check the nationwide settlements: most class actions are open to Illinois residents along with everyone else. The SettleScout app matches you to both based on the brands you use.
