AMC might owe you money from an $8.3 million class action lawsuit settlement.
The lawsuit accuses AMC of using Meta Pixel software developed by Meta (formerly Facebook) to track users on its website and share their information with third parties without consent. The actions are considered a violation of federal law under the Video Privacy Protection Act.
As part of the settlement, AMC must “remove or modify” Meta Pixel and other third-party tracking software to comply with the law within 90 days of the final judgement.
AMC denies that it violated the law, according to the settlement website.
The settlement includes viewers in the U.S. who subscribed to or signed up for AMC-run services like AMC+, Shudder, Acorn TV, AllBlk, Sundance Now, and/or HiDive between January 18, 2021 and January 10, 2024.
You have until April 9, 2024 to submit a claim and receive a cash payment along with a one-week subscription to AMC’s streaming service, AMC+. If you accept the settlement money, you waive your rights to sue AMC for the same reason later.
You can also decline the settlement and retain your rights to sue AMC on your own or object to the settlement by April 9, 2024, or you can attend the court hearing on May 16 to speak to the court about the settlement.
If you choose to take not action, you won’t receive a payment and you waive your rights to sue AMC regarding the case’s claims.
