$20.5M CVS Digital Privacy Class Action Settlement

CVS, a national pharmacy chain, reached a $20.5 million class action settlement to address claims regarding the unauthorized sharing of consumer data with third parties. The lawsuit alleged that the company violated consumer privacy rights by sharing personal information, specifically noting that the data sharing allegedly occurred through technology embedded on CVS's digital platforms.

The plaintiffs claimed that CVS shared consumer data with entities like Criteo, a digital advertising company, without the consumers' explicit consent. CVS has not admitted to any wrongdoing in agreeing to the settlement to resolve these allegations.

Class members who accessed CVS digital properties, including cvs.com, cvshealth.com, and the CVS app, before July 27, 2026, are eligible. Participants can receive a cash payment of up to $5 without documentation, or up to $10 if they provide supporting documentation, such as proof of purchase or membership. To receive benefits, a valid claim form must be submitted by November 16, 2026.
