File Your Claim →What Happened?
LinkedIn was sued after it was revealed that the personal data of hundreds of millions of LinkedIn users had been scraped from the platform and sold online. The scraped data included names, email addresses, phone numbers, workplace information, and other profile details. LinkedIn argued the data was publicly available, but the lawsuit alleged the scraping violated user privacy expectations and LinkedIn's own terms of service.
Data scraping at scale — where automated tools harvest massive amounts of personal information — has become a significant privacy concern as the scraped data is frequently used for spam, phishing, and identity theft.
How Much Will I Actually Get?
Settlement payment details are still being finalized. No proof is required to file a claim as a LinkedIn user whose data was scraped. Check the official settlement website for current payment estimates and filing instructions.
