Settlement Summary
GameStop, a prominent video game retailer, recently agreed to a $4.5 million settlement in response to a class-action lawsuit. The complaint claimed that the company was sharing customers' personally identifiable information (PII) with Facebook and tracking user data without obtaining appropriate consent. This alleged behavior is a violation of the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), which prohibits the disclosure of such information without explicit user consent. The parties involved in the lawsuit were customers who made purchases on GameStop's website between August 18, 2020, and April 7, 2025, and were Facebook members using their real names on their profiles at the time of the purchases. Eligible customers can claim either a cash payment or a voucher for use on GameStop's website, which could potentially be a model for similar future settlements.
