McGowan, et al. v. Veriff, Inc.

You may be entitled to a cash payment from a class action settlement if you are an individual whose biometrics were collected, captured, purchased, received through trade, possessed, retained, or otherwise obtained while in Illinois by Veriff or its technology for the purposes of identity verification between November 12, 2016 and December 5, 2022, and whose identity was verified.

The Settlement would resolve a lawsuit brought on behalf of persons who allege that Veriff, Inc. collected individuals’ Biometrics in Illinois through its identity-verification technology without first providing the individuals with legally-required written disclosures and obtaining written consent. The proposed Settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing by Veriff, Inc., and it denies that it violated the law. If you received notice of this Settlement, you have been identified as someone who, at some time between November 12, 2016 and December 5, 2022, had Biometrics collected, captured, purchased, received through trade, possessed, retained, or otherwise obtained while in Illinois by Veriff or its technology for the purposes of identity verification, and whose identity was verified. The Court has granted Preliminary Approval of the Settlement and has conditionally certified the Settlement Class for purposes of settlement only. The Long Form Notice explains the nature of the class action lawsuit, the terms of the Settlement, and the legal rights and obligations of the Settlement Class Members.
