Comparable settlements $30M–$725M median $59.50M · n=10 Meta $725M · Google $68M · Google Assistant $68M Per member (realized): ~$29 median · $25–$30 (n=3) Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425M Key precedent: Doe v. Bayhealth Medical Ctr. — confirms privacy/confidentiality claims via tracking tech can survive MTD when a duty analogous to provider-patient trust exists, relevant if defendant collects sensitive user data. Main risk: Dismissal risk mirrors LabCorp/Integris pattern — courts may find no adequately pled wiretap interception or lack of concrete disclosure to third parties. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $112K–$6.75M Class size is speculative absent real user data; estimate highly sensitive to discovery on actual customer/user counts and survival outcome. · grounded in 6 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Privacy & Wiretap | S.D.
