If your biometric data was obtained and stored by Foris DAX, Inc. within the state of Illinois between August 1, 2018, and June 5, 2024, you may be entitled to a monetary payment from this settlement.
A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit known as Agnew v. Foris DAX, Inc., No. 2024-CH-00435, filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois.
The Settlement would resolve a lawsuit brought on behalf of persons who allege that Foris DAX, Inc. (“Defendant”) obtained and stored individuals’ biometrics in Illinois in connection with those individuals’ creation of Crypto.com accounts without first providing them with legally required written disclosures and obtaining written consent. The lawsuit alleges that Defendant violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”) by collecting individuals’ biometrics by requiring new users to upload photographs of themselves without first providing the requisite disclosures or obtaining the consent required by BIPA. Defendant denies these claims and denies it violated BIPA.
Settlement Class Members who submit a timely Claim Form that is deemed valid will be entitled to an equal payment paid out of the Settlement Fund after payment is made for administrative expenses, Class Counsel’s attorneys’ fees and expenses, and a Class Representative Service Award. The amount of each valid Claimant’s payment is estimated to be between $30.00 and $60.00, but the exact amount is unknown at this time and depends on several factors, including how many valid Claims are submitted and the amount of costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses.
