What Is the European Wax Center Class Action About?
Did you visit waxcenter.com or book a wax appointment online between June 30, 2023 and April 2, 2026? You may be entitled to a cash payment of up to $10.00 under a proposed class action settlement that resolves claims European Wax Center quietly shared visitors’ information with third parties through website pixels, cookies, code, and other tracking and analytics tools. Here is how the proposed settlement works and how to file your claim.The lawsuit, captioned Cumor, Dunn v. European Wax Center, Inc., Case No. 26-CA-002430, is pending before the Honorable Melissa Polo in the Circuit Court for the 13th Judicial Circuit, Hillsborough County, Florida. The plaintiffs, Jason Cumor and Sydney Dunn, allege that the operator of waxcenter.com let third parties listen in on visitors’ activity by deploying tracking pixels, cookies, and analytics scripts that captured information about how visitors used the site — including users who booked appointments — without permission.
European Wax Center denies that it violated any law and denies any wrongdoing. The court has not decided who is right. The parties have agreed to settle to avoid the cost, distraction, and uncertainty of continued litigation.
Why Beauty & Personal-Care Site Tracking Is Different
European Wax Center is a national franchise system with hundreds of waxing studios across the United States, and waxcenter.com is the front door for booking appointments at those locations. The complaint focuses on what the operator allegedly allowed to happen behind that booking flow: third-party advertising and analytics scripts that the lawsuit says could capture information tied to a visitor’s session as they browsed services, selected a studio, and scheduled a wax.Plaintiffs frame this as a wiretapping problem under the federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Florida Security of Communications Act, and the California Invasion of Privacy Act, plus a common-law invasion-of-privacy claim. The legal theory is that interactions on a beauty and personal-care booking site are sensitive enough that bolting third-party trackers on top of them, without clear consent, is the digital equivalent of letting an outside party tap the line. The settlement does not establish liability — the company denies the allegations — but it offers class members a streamlined cash benefit instead of years of contested litigation.
Who Is Included in the Settlement?
The settlement class is defined as all U.S. residents who visited www.waxcenter.com, including, but not limited to, those who booked an appointment on www.waxcenter.com, at any time from June 30, 2023 through April 2, 2026.The following groups are excluded from the class:
• Any judge or magistrate presiding over the action and members of their families.
• European Wax Center, its subsidiaries, parent companies, successors, predecessors, and any entity in which the defendant or its parents have a controlling interest, along with their current or former officers, directors, agents, attorneys, and employees.
• Anyone who properly executes and files a timely request for exclusion from the settlement class.
• The legal representatives, successors, or assigns of any such excluded persons.
What Benefits Does the European Wax Center Settlement Provide?
The settlement creates a settlement fund of up to $5 million. After notice and administration costs, attorneys’ fees, and service awards to the class representatives, the remaining funds are used to pay class member claims.• Cash payment of up to $10.00. Each settlement class member who submits an approved claim form is eligible to receive a cash payment of up to $10.00.
• Pro rata adjustment. If the total value of all approved claims would exceed the funds available for distribution to class members, the per-person payment will be reduced on a pro rata (equal share) basis.
• Class Member ID required. The official claim portal asks for the Class Member ID printed at the top left corner of the emailed notice you received from the settlement administrator.
