Comparable settlements $59.50M–$725M ▾
Comparable rulings split roughly evenly: Rand v. Eyemart Express and Doe v. Bayhealth allowed privacy/wiretap claims via tracking tech to survive, while Santoro v. Tower Health and Nuance v. Olson-type exemptions led to dismissal. Outcome heavily depends on whether NBCUniversal's data-sharing practices (e.g., pixel/SDK trackers) are framed as health or biometric-adjacent data.
Comparable settlements $59.50M–$725M median $81.50M · n=10
Meta $725M · Google $425M · Google LLC $135M
Per member (realized): ~$29 median · $29–$29 (n=2)
Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425.65M
Key precedent: Rand v. Eyemart Express (5th Cir.) - closely analogous Meta Pixel disclosure theory survived dismissal, showing viability of wiretap claims against media/consumer platforms.
Main risk: Dismissal on exemption or lack of individualized harm, as in Santoro v. Tower Health and Nuance v. Olson where statutory carve-outs defeated similar tracking-based claims.
Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $40M–$720M
