"Katz-Lacabe v. Oracle Settlement, what is this

The Katz-Lacabe v. Oracle Settlement is a class action lawsuit that has been proposed against Oracle America, Inc. The case, which is pending before Judge Richard Seeborg in the Northern District of California, alleges that Oracle improperly captured, compiled, and sold individuals' online and offline data to third parties without obtaining their consent.

Under the terms of the proposed settlement, Oracle will pay $115 million to establish a settlement fund, which will be used to compensate class members. The settlement covers individuals who lived in the United States for some period since August 19, 2018, and whose personal data was acquired, captured, or otherwise collected by Oracle Advertising technologies or made available for use or sale by or through ID Graph, Data Marketplace, or any other Oracle Advertising product or service.

The settlement does not admit any wrongdoing on the part of Oracle, but the company has agreed to pay the $115 million to resolve the litigation. If approved by the court, the settlement will resolve the Katz-Lacabe et al v. Oracle America, Inc. case (Case No. 3:22-cv-04792-RS). The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for November 14, 2024, and claims can be filed online at katzprivacysettlement.com or by mail until October 17, 2024.
