Facebook Location Services Settlement ~ Claims Open!
If you had a Facebook account between 2015 and 2018 and turned off your location services, then you may be entitled to compensation. Because this lawsuit alleges that Meta improperly inferred the location of Facebook Users in the United States through their IP addresses even if a Facebook User had turned off Location Services on their iOS or Android device for the Facebook application. In other words, allegedly they shared location information despite users not wanting to be tracked.
This comes on the heels of other lawsuits involving Meta and Facebook which you can also claim.
The settlement is known as Lundy, et al. v. Meta Platforms, Inc., Case No. 3:18-cv-06793-JD, United States District Court for the Northern District of California.

What’s this settlement about?
This lawsuit alleges that Meta improperly inferred the location of Facebook Users in the United States through their IP addresses even if a Facebook User had turned off Location Services on their iOS or Android device for the Facebook application.
Settlement Class Members include any natural person living in the United States who used Facebook and who turned off Location Services on their iOS or Android device for the Facebook application at any point from January 30, 2015 to April 18, 2018 (inclusive). Meta expressly denies any liability or wrongdoing.
Who is eligible for a refund?
You may file a claim if you reside in the United States, used Facebook between January 30, 2015 and April 18, 2018, inclusive, and you believe your iOS or Android Location Services setting for the Facebook application was turned off at any point during that period.
Is a receipt required?
Proof of purchase is not required and is not applicable.
How much will I get back?
The amount of payment will depend on the number of valid claims. By way of example only: assuming a Net Settlement Fund of $25,000,000, an equal distribution of the Settlement Fund would mean that if one million Class Members made claims, each claimant would receive approximately $25. As another example, assuming a Net Settlement Fund of $25,000,000, an equal distribution of the Settlement Fund would mean that if 2.5 million Class Members made claims, each claimant would receive approximately $10. The amount, if any, paid to each claimant depends upon the number of claims made and other factors detailed in the Settlement. No one knows in advance how much each claimant will receive, or whether any money will be paid directly to claimants.

What is a class action lawsuit settlement?
For example, a class action lawsuit is one with multiple plaintiffs. In other words, there is more than one person being represented by the lawsuit. In other words, a plaintiff or plaintiffs file the case on behalf of many affected people who aren’t involved in the actual suit. For example, if you purchased an item that was later determined to be involved in a class action lawsuit, you may be entitled to compensation. If you’re included in the class or group of people affected, you can file a claim to receive money, coupons, or replacement products. But, each case is different, and each will specify who is included. In addition, class action lawsuits may require proof that you are part of the group of affected people. In this case, proof of purchase or other specified evidence is needed. However, in some cases, no proof is required. In that case, you can file a claim without proving that you are part of the class of people affected. Of course, when you file a claim you are doing so under penalty of perjury. So, do not file if you do not qualify.
