The lawsuit alleges this violated the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), a 1988 law that limits how companies can share what videos a person requests or watches. FitOn denies that it violated any law.The case is Ava Hoffman et al. v. FitOn, Inc., Index No. 542301/2025, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Kings, before the Hon. Saul Stein. The two sides agreed to settle to avoid the uncertainty and expense of continued litigation.

How Much Can You Get?
Each valid claim is for a $10 cash payment. Because the payments come out of a fixed fund, the amount is subject to pro-rata (equal) reduction if the approved cash claims exceed the net settlement benefit cap of $2,500,000 — so the actual amount can be lower depending on how many people file. You choose your payment method on the claim form: a mailed check by default, or PayPal or Venmo if you file online. Note that settlement checks expire and become void 180 days after they are issued, so cash them promptly.The court granted final approval on October 6, 2026. Its order directs that payments be made to class members who submitted timely, valid claims within 60 days of the settlement's Effective Date, or as soon as practicable.
What Proof Do I Need?
There are no receipts, screenshots, or documents to submit — you do not have to prove which videos you watched. But how you file matters. To file online at FitOnVPPASettlement.com, you must enter the Login ID and PIN printed in your settlement notice, so the online portal is gated on those administrator-issued codes. If you never received a notice, or no longer have it, use the printable paper claim form instead — it lists the Login ID as optional ("if known") and has no PIN field, so you can file by mail without either code. Either way, you attest under penalty of perjury that you meet the class definition, and claims may be subject to audit and verification, so only file if you actually used FitOn.Important Dates
