Settlement Information
A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Defendant Lytx, Inc. (“Lytx”) over claims that Lytx violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”) by collecting and storing Settlement Class Members’ biometric data through dash cams and using its machine vision and artificial intelligence (“MV+AI”) technology without consent. Lytx denies these allegations, any wrongdoing, or that it violated any laws.
Lytx will establish a $4,250,000 Settlement Fund that will be used to pay Claims that Class Members timely submit, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the costs of notice and administration. All cash payments will be adjusted pro rata based on the number of Class Members that participate in the Settlement.
Who Is a Class Member?
The Class includes all individuals who, while present in the State of Illinois, operated a vehicle equipped with a Lytx DriveCam® Event Recorder (“DriveCam”) and for whom MV+AI was used to predict distracted driving behaviors between October 12, 2016 and January 1, 2025.
