What is the Life Line Screening pixel tracking settlement?

A $1.4 million class action settlement resolving claims that Life Line Screening of America used tracking pixels from Meta (Facebook) and Google on its website, which allegedly shared users' health screening selections, search queries, and medical test purchases with those third parties without consent. The case is Mediate v. Life Line Screening of America, Ltd., Cause No. D-1-GN-25-000401 in the District Court of Travis County, Texas.

How much can I get from the Life Line Screening settlement?

Nationwide class members can claim a $20 cash payment. California residents can alternatively claim a $50 cash payment in recognition of their release of California statutory privacy claims. California residents must choose one or the other — they cannot receive both.

What is the deadline to file a claim?

The deadline to submit a claim form is February 17, 2026. You can file online at www.lifelinepixelsettlement.com or by mail to the Settlement Administrator at P.O. Box 225391, New York, NY 10150-5391. To receive an electronic payment, you must file your claim online.

What are tracking pixels and what did they share?

Tracking pixels are small pieces of code that websites embed to track user behavior. In this case, Life Line Screening allegedly used Meta (Facebook) and Google tracking pixels that transmitted information about what users typed into the website's search boxes, which medical screening tests they selected and ordered, and other interactions with the website. This health-related information was sent to Meta and Google without users' knowledge or consent.

Why do California residents get more money?

California has stronger privacy laws than most states, including statutes that provide specific protections for personal and medical information. The $50 payment for California residents reflects the additional statutory claims they are releasing as part of the settlement. California residents must choose between the $50 California payment or the $20 nationwide payment — they cannot receive both.

When is the final approval hearing?

The final approval hearing is scheduled for March 12, 2026 at 9:00 AM CT via Zoom, before Judge Daniella Deseta Lyttle of the District Court of Travis County, Texas.

How are the attorneys being paid?

Class Counsel may receive up to $800,000 in attorneys' fees and expenses, paid by the defendant separately from the $1.4 million settlement fund. The class representative may receive a service award of up to $3,500, also paid separately. This means attorneys' fees do not reduce the money available for class member payments.

Why are pixel tracking lawsuits becoming more common?

Many healthcare and medical websites have been caught using Meta, Google, and other tracking pixels that inadvertently or intentionally share sensitive health information with advertising platforms. When you visit a health screening website and select specific medical tests, that activity can be transmitted to Facebook and Google for ad targeting purposes. Several major lawsuits have been filed over this practice, particularly against hospitals, telehealth platforms, and medical testing companies.

Do I need proof that I used Life Line Screening's website?

The settlement notice does not indicate that documentation is required with your claim form. You simply need to submit a claim form by February 17, 2026 attesting that you used Life Line's website to set health screenings or purchase test kits during the class period (June 1, 2018 to present).

$1.4M LifeLine Health Screening Class Action Settlement

Q: What is Life Line Screening?

Life Line Screening is a medical device and health screening company incorporated in Texas. They offer preventive health screenings — tests like carotid artery ultrasounds, abdominal aortic aneurysm screenings, peripheral arterial disease tests, and other cardiovascular and health assessments. Customers schedule screenings and purchase test kits through the company's website.

Q: What happens if I do nothing?

If you do nothing, you will not receive any cash payment from the settlement. Your legal claims against Life Line Screening will be released, meaning you give up the right to sue them over the pixel tracking issues. Since the claims require only a simple form and no documentation, there is no reason not to file.

Life Line Screening Pixel Tracking Class Action Settlement

Published: February 12, 2026

Claim Form Deadline: February 17, 2026

Cash Payment: $20 - $50 (California)

Settlement Fund: $1.4M

If you've ever used Life Line Screening's website to schedule a health screening or buy a test kit, the company may have been quietly sending your medical choices to Facebook and Google without your knowledge.

A $1.4 million class action settlement has been reached, and anyone who used Life Line's website since June 1, 2018 can claim $20 (or $50 if you're a California resident). No documentation is needed — just a simple claim form.

What Is Life Line Screening?

You've probably seen their ads in local newspapers, church bulletins, or community center flyers. Life Line Screening is a company that sets up preventive health screening events at churches, VFW halls, community centers, and other local venues around the country. They offer tests that check for things like clogged arteries, aneurysms, irregular heartbeat, bone density loss, and other conditions that often go undetected until something goes seriously wrong.

Their target audience is mostly older adults — people over 50 who want peace of mind about their cardiovascular health, stroke risk, or other age-related concerns. The screenings are typically marketed as affordable alternatives to expensive hospital visits, usually costing somewhere between $60 and $200 depending on which package you choose.

To book a screening or buy a home test kit, you go to Life Line's website. That's where you browse the available tests, select the ones you want (like a carotid artery screening for stroke risk or an abdominal ultrasound for aortic aneurysm), pick a date and location near you, and pay online. The key detail here is that every click, every test you select, and every search you run on their site tells a story about your personal health concerns.

And according to this lawsuit, that story was being shared with Facebook and Google.

What Are Tracking Pixels?

If you're not sure what a "tracking pixel" is, you're not alone — most people have never heard the term, even though they encounter them on nearly every website they visit.

A tracking pixel is a tiny, invisible piece of code that a website embeds in its pages. You can't see it — it's literally a 1x1 pixel, the smallest possible image, completely invisible to the naked eye. But when your browser loads that pixel, it sends a signal back to whoever put it there (in this case, Meta and Google) saying: "This person just visited this page, clicked this button, searched for this term, or added this item to their cart."

On a shopping website, tracking pixels help advertisers know that you looked at a pair of running shoes, so they can show you running shoe ads on Facebook later. That's annoying, but relatively harmless.

On a health screening website, it's a completely different story.

When Life Line Screening installed Meta's pixel and Google's tracking code on its website, the lawsuit alleges it meant that every time you:

• Typed something like "stroke screening" or "heart disease" into the site's search bar
• Selected a carotid artery ultrasound or abdominal aortic aneurysm test
• Added a screening package to your cart or completed a purchase
• Browsed pages about specific health conditions

…that information was being transmitted directly to Facebook and Google in real time. These companies then had a record of your specific health concerns, tied to your identity through cookies, device IDs, or your logged-in Facebook/Google account.

You never agreed to this. You probably didn't even know it was happening. You thought you were privately scheduling a health test — not broadcasting your medical concerns to the world's largest advertising platforms.

What Could Facebook and Google Do With This Data?

Once your health screening activity reaches Meta's or Google's servers, it becomes part of their advertising ecosystem. Here's what that can look like in practice:

• Facebook could build an advertising profile that flags you as interested in cardiovascular health, stroke prevention, or cancer screening — and sell access to that profile to advertisers
• You might start seeing targeted ads for heart medications, life insurance, or medical alert systems based on the screenings you selected
• Your data could be combined with other information Meta and Google already have about you (your age, location, browsing history) to create an increasingly detailed health profile
• Advertisers in the health, pharmaceutical, and insurance industries can use these profiles to target you with ads based on conditions you haven't even discussed with your own doctor yet

The fundamental problem is that you went to a health website expecting medical privacy, and instead your health concerns were fed into an advertising machine.

Why This Is Part of a Bigger Problem

This isn't an isolated case. Dozens of hospitals, telehealth companies, pharmacies, and medical testing providers have been caught using Meta and Google tracking pixels that share sensitive health information with advertising platforms. The practice became widespread because these pixels are easy to install, they're free, and they help companies measure how well their online advertising is working. Most businesses that installed them probably didn't fully understand what data was being shared — but that doesn't change the fact that it was shared.

Life Line Screening denies any wrongdoing, and the court has not made any determination of liability. The case is Mediate v. Life Line Screening of America, Ltd., Cause No. D-1-GN-25-000401, in the District Court of Travis County, Texas.

Who Qualifies?

There are two subclasses:

Nationwide Class: All individuals who set health screenings through Life Line, or purchased test kits through Life Line, using a website or web platform during the period from June 1, 2018 to the present.

California Class: All individuals residing in California who set health screenings through Life Line, or purchased test kits through Life Line, using a website or web platform during the same period.

How Much Can I Get?

• Nationwide class members: $20 cash payment
• California residents: $50 cash payment (in recognition of additional California privacy law claims being released)

If you're a California resident, you must choose one or the other — you cannot claim both the $20 and $50 payments.

The total settlement fund is $1,400,000, which covers class member payments and settlement administration costs. Attorneys' fees (up to $800,000) and the service award (up to $3,500) are paid by the defendant separately and do not reduce the settlement fund.
