Comparable settlements $59.50M–$725M ▾
Comparable privacy/tracking rulings split roughly evenly: Bayhealth and Gunnar Optiks survived on confidentiality/BIPA theories, while Tower Health, Nuance, and Walker were dismissed on exemption or pleading grounds. Wiretap claims against retailers depend heavily on jurisdiction-specific consent and recording definitions.

Per member (realized): ~$29 median · $29–$29 (n=2)
Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425.65M
Key precedent: Doe v. Bayhealth Medical Ctr. — shows tracking-technology disclosure claims can survive MTD when a duty/confidentiality theory is well-pled, relevant to D.Mass privacy claims.
Main risk: Dismissal via statutory exemption or failure to plead actionable interception, as in Nuance (BIPA exemption) and Tower Health (pixel claim dismissed)
