What Is This Settlement About?
A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Derick Dermatology, PLLC. The case, Jeffries v. Derick Dermatology, PLLC (Case No. CACE-26-003864), is pending in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit, in and for Broward County, Florida.The complaint alleges that Derick Dermatology disclosed website visitors' information to third parties through pixels, cookies, code, and other tracking or analytics tools on its website, allegedly without permission. The plaintiff asserts claims for violation of the Federal Wiretap Act (18 U.S.C. § 2510, et seq.), breach of fiduciary duty/confidentiality, invasion of privacy, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment, and negligence.
Derick Dermatology denies that it violated any law and denies any wrongdoing. It agreed to settle solely to avoid the cost, distraction to its business operations, and uncertainty of continued litigation. The settlement is a compromise and is not an admission of liability by the defendant. The Court has not decided who is right.

How Much Can You Get?
There are two separate benefits in this settlement:1. Cash payment — up to $12.50. Class Members who file a valid Claim Form can receive a cash payment of up to $12.50. The cash amount may be reduced pro rata (a legal term meaning equal share) if the total value of all approved claims exceeds the funds available for distribution. Filing a Claim Form is the only way to receive the cash payment.
2. One-year Privacy Shield Pro subscription — automatic. In addition to the cash payment, every Settlement Class Member automatically receives a code to redeem a one-year subscription to the Privacy Shield Pro identity-theft-protection product at no cost. Enrollment codes were sent to Class Members by email or U.S. mail. You do not need to file a claim to receive the Privacy Shield Pro code, but you must enroll after the settlement is approved and the Effective Date has passed. Enrollment codes become active within 5 days after the Effective Date, and enrollment must be completed within 95 days of the Effective Date.
Under the Settlement Agreement, the defendant and/or its insurers will pay up to $1 million to cover: notice and settlement administration expenses; the Court-approved award of attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses for Class Counsel (no more than $350,000); a service award to the Class Representative (up to $1,500); the up-to-$12.50 cash payments; and the cost of the one-year Privacy Shield Pro subscriptions.
