If photos or images of your face have been posted to a publicly accessible webpage on the internet, you may be entitled to money.

Welcome to the Settlement Website for In re Clearview AI, Inc. Consumer Privacy Litigation. The suit stems from Defendant Clearview AI, Inc. ("Clearview") "scraping" billions of photographs of individuals’ faces from publicly accessible internet webpages, using artificial intelligence algorithms to scan the face geometry of each individual depicted in the photographs, and then storing the collected information in a searchable Biometric Database.

The Settlement Fund will be funded by Clearview and will be used to pay all amounts due to Class Members who submit an Approved Claim as well as any incentive payment to the named Plaintiffs and Fee Award to Class Counsel approved by the Court. The Settlement doesn’t decide who is right, but rather is a compromise to end the lawsuit and avoid the uncertainties and costs associated with further litigation and a trial.

You are included if you reside or resided in the United States and have photographs of your face posted to a publicly accessible webpage on the internet. If you are a Class Member, you are entitled to submit a claim for a share of the payment made to the Class Members from the Settlement Fund.
