| Academy, Ltd d/b/a Academy Sport + Outdoorssource ↗ filed by EKSM, LLP · No. 4:26-cv-07181 · 18:2511 Wiretapping · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $47.50M–$725M ▾Comparable privacy rulings split: Doe v. Bayhealth and Gunnar Optiks (on remand) let claims survive tracking-based privacy theories, while Integris Health saw state privacy claims left 'unclear' after removal fight. No wiretap-specific ruling directly mirrors Academy's retail-tracking fact pattern, so outcome is fact-dependent on tracking-tech consent issues. Comparable settlements $47.50M–$725M median $63.75M · n=10 Meta $725M · Google LLC $135M · Google $68M Per member (realized): ~$29 median · $29–$30 (n=3) Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425M Key precedent: Doe v. Bayhealth Medical Ctr. — survived because provider-like duty existed via tracking tech disclosure, showing courts will let privacy claims proceed past MTD when third-party data sharing is alleged. Main risk: Session-replay/pixel wiretap claims can be dismissed if court finds no 'contents' interception or valid consent, as suggested by unresolved Integris and LabCorp rulings. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $7.50M–$105M No wiretap-specific prior ruling against Academy; class size and per-member figures are extrapolated, not directly evidenced. · grounded in 6 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Privacy & Wiretap | S.D.
