AMC Privacy Violations Class Settlement: Legit Or Scam? Find Out
Did you receive the AMC Privacy Violations Class Settlement email? it’s not a scam.
AMC is paying out $8.3 million to settle a class action lawsuit that accused them of breaking privacy laws by keeping tabs on users on their website and passing that info along to other companies.
Who Is Eligible For The AMC Privacy Violations Class Settlement
The settlement is good news for people who streamed videos through AMC+, Shudder, Acorn TV, ALLBLK, SundanceNow, or HIDIVE services on AMC’s website, app, or streaming platform between Jan. 18, 2021, and Jan. 10, 2024.
According to the plaintiffs, AMC used Meta Pixel tracking on its website to monitor what users were up to and then shared that data with other companies without getting the green light from users. This, they argue, goes against the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA).
Just so you know, AMC+ is AMC’s all-in-one streaming platform that brings together various services under one roof.
How Much Is The Settlement
if you’re part of the class, you’ll get a piece of the pie from the net settlement fund, but how much you’ll get depends on how many valid claims are filed. Unfortunately, there’s no way to estimate payments right now.
As a bonus, everyone who files a valid claim will also snag a one-week digital subscription to the AMC+ streaming service.
