Hours later, Zoom removed the code that was sending data to Facebook.

The Zoom app was notifying Facebook whenever a user opened the app, and would provide details about the model of their device, the city they were located, the carrier they were using, and their unique advertiser ID. The deadline to exclude yourself is also March 5th, 2022.Īs Vice notes, the settlement followed the report from Motherboard about Zoom sending user data to Facebook even when the user didn’t have a Facebook account. If you would prefer to exclude yourself from the settlement, you can do that on the website as well. You can submit the form online or file it by mail. If you want to participate in the class action settlement, you will need to submit a claim form by March 5th, 2022. The good news is that free users can still receive $15. Instead, we dealt with the time limit or mooched off of our friends that had premium accounts. Of course, many of us didn’t pay for Zoom. Because $11.25 is less than $25, your claim will be treated as a claim for $25. For example, if you spent $75 on a Zoom Meetings App subscription during the relevant time period, 15% of $75 is $11.25. If you are a Class Member who paid for a Zoom Meetings App subscription, between Maand July 30, 2021, you are eligible to file a claim for $25 or 15% of the money you paid to Zoom for the core subscription (i.e., not including optional add on features/support that customers may add to their subscriptions) during that time, whichever is greater.
