In Re: TikTok, Inc., Consumer Privacy Litigation

MDL No. 2948, 20-cv-4699

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS

UPDATE:

On October 26, 2022, the Settlement Administrator began issuing settlement payments.

On October 12, 2022, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit dismissed the Appeal.

On September 20, 2022, an Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit was filed from the Memorandum Opinion and Order entered on July 28, 2022, and the Order and Final Judgment, entered on August 22, 2022. The settlement cannot become Effective and settlement payments cannot be issued until all Appeals are resolved. We have no estimate as to how long this may take.

If you and/or your minor child used the TikTok and/or Musical.ly application, You May Be Entitled to a Payment from a Class Action Settlement.

If you live in Illinois and used the TikTok app in Illinois to create videos, you may be entitled to up to 6x the Payment.
