A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Star Tribune Media Company LLC (“Defendant”). The class action lawsuit is called Kyle Feldman v. Star Tribune Media Company LLC, Case No. 0:22-cv-01731-ECT-TNL, pending in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the “Action”). The Action accuses Star Tribune Media Company LLC of disclosing its subscribers’ personally identifiable information (“PII”) to Facebook via the Facebook Tracking Pixel without consent in violation of the Video Privacy Protection Act (the “VPPA”). The VPPA defines PII to include information which identifies a Person as having requested or obtained specific video materials or services from a video tape service provider. Defendant denies that it violated any law, but has agreed to the settlement to avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with continuing the case.&nbsp;You are included if you are a Person in the United States who, from July 7, 2020, to and through February 5, 2024, (1) have or had a Facebook account, (2) have or had a digital subscription to the Star Tribune, or a home delivery subscription to the Star Tribune that includes digital access, and (3) who viewed videos on Star Tribune’s website.&nbsp;Persons included in the settlement will be eligible to receive a pro rata (meaning equal) portion of the Settlement Fund. The settlement also requires Defendant to suspend operation of the Facebook Tracking Pixel on any pages on its website that both include video content and have a URL that substantially identifies the video content viewed, unless and until the VPPA is amended, repealed, or otherwise invalidated (including by judicial decision on the use of website pixel technology by the United States Supreme Court, any federal court of appeals, a U.S. federal district court in Minnesota, or a Minnesota state court of general jurisdiction), or until Defendant obtains VPPA-compliant consent for the disclosure of the video content viewed to Facebook.&nbsp;<figure class="table"><table style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 0%);"><tbody><tr><td style="background-color:hsl(0, 0%, 60%);border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 0%);text-align:center;" colspan="2">YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THIS SETTLEMENT</td></tr><tr><td style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 0%);padding:6.0pt;vertical-align:top;">SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM BY JULY 5, 2024</td><td style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 0%);padding:6.0pt;vertical-align:top;">This is the only way to receive payment.</td></tr><tr><td style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 0%);padding:6.0pt;vertical-align:top;">EXCLUDE YOURSELF BY MAY 6, 2024</td><td style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 0%);padding:6.0pt;vertical-align:top;">You will receive no benefits, but you will retain any rights you currently have to sue the Defendant about claims in this case</td></tr><tr><td style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 0%);padding:6.0pt;vertical-align:top;">OBJECT BY MAY 6, 2024</td><td style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 0%);padding:6.0pt;vertical-align:top;">Write to the Court explaining why you don't like the settlement.</td></tr><tr><td style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 0%);padding:6.0pt;vertical-align:top;">GO TO THE HEARING ON MAY 20, 2024</td><td style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 0%);padding:6.0pt;vertical-align:top;">Ask to speak in Court about your opinion of the settlement.</td></tr><tr><td style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 0%);padding:6.0pt;vertical-align:top;">DO NOTHING</td><td style="border:1px solid hsl(0, 0%, 0%);padding:6.0pt;vertical-align:top;">You won't get a share of the Settlement Benefits and will give up your rights to sue the Defendant about the claims in this case.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>
