Patreon (privacy violations)
Defendant: Patreon
Patreon, a crowdfunding platform for artists and creators, agreed to pay $7.25 million to resolve allegations that the company disclosed the identities and video-viewing preferences of its users to Facebook without their consent, a violation of the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA). If, between April 1, 2016, and Sept. 23, 2024, you requested or obtained video content on the Patreon website and, at that time, you had both a Facebook account and a Patreon account, you may be eligible for payment.
