What's the $4.1M ESO Solutions, Inc. Class Action?

A $4,100,000 class action settlement has been reached with ESO Solutions, Inc. over allegations that the company violated certain Illinois consumer protected biometric rights by obtaining their fingerprints without properly informing them.

This class action lawsuit, Hirmer v. ESO Solutions, Inc. d/b/a eCore Solutions, Inc., is about allegations that ESO Solutions, Inc. violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) by failing to obtain informed written consent before collecting, capturing, or obtaining biometric identifiers or biometric information in connection with the use of ePro BioClocks in Illinois and by not implementing and adhering to a written policy for permanently destroying biometric identifiers or biometric information.

What is the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA)?

In October 2008, Illinois became the first state to approve a biometric consumer protection law, called the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA). This Act prohibits the unauthorized collection, use, or storage of biometric data such as fingerprints, iris scans, face geometry scans, etc. BIPA is one of the most comprehensive biometric privacy legislation and provides consumers with the right to take actions to protect their own data. There have been dozens of BIPA class action lawsuits settled in Oct 2025 alone.

What is the Total Settlement Amount?

The total settlement amount in the ESO Solutions biometric privacy class action is $4,101,300.00.
