Settlement Summary
A $85,000,000 class action Settlement focuses on alleged privacy and security issues with the Zoom Meetings Application. The lawsuit alleges that Zoom shared certain information with third parties, should have done more to prevent unwanted meeting disruptions by third parties, and advertised its Zoom Meetings App as being encrypted “end-to-end” when it was not secure, and strangers were able to "zoom bomb" and join meetings unsolicited and disrupt Zoom conference calls.Zoom has agreed to pay the $85 million amount agreed to in order to settle the Action. As part of the Settlement, Zoom also has agreed to make certain changes to its policies and practices that benefit Settlement Class Members.
How Do I Qualify?
You are a member of the Settlement Class if you are in the United States and, between March 30, 2016, and July 30, 2021, you registered, used, opened, or downloaded the Zoom Meetings Application.What Can I Get?
This class action is closed to new claims but to qualify previously you needed to meet the following requirements:Paid Subscription Claim: If you are a Class Member who paid for a Zoom Meetings App subscription between March 30, 2016, and July 30, 2021, you are eligible to file a claim for $25 or 15% of the money you paid to Zoom for the core App subscription (i.e., not including optional add-on features/support that customers may add to their subscriptions) during that time, whichever is greater. For example, if you spent $75 on a Zoom Meetings App subscription during the relevant time period, 15% of $75 is $11.25. Because $11.25 is less than $25, your claim will be treated as a claim for $25.
User Claim: If you registered, used, opened, or downloaded the Zoom Meeting App between March 30, 2016, and July 30, 2021, and you are not eligible to submit a Paid Subscription Claim, you are eligible to file a claim for $15.
