File Your Claim →What Happened?
TikTok was sued for collecting biometric data — including faceprints and voiceprints — from users without their knowledge or consent, in violation of Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act. The app also allegedly collected geolocation data, browsing history, and other personal information and shared it with third parties including ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company.
The case raised significant national security concerns given ByteDance's ties to China. TikTok agreed to pay $92 million to settle multiple class action lawsuits related to its data collection practices. The settlement covers U.S. TikTok users who used the app before September 30, 2021.
How Much Will I Actually Get?
The $92 million fund divided among potentially tens of millions of eligible users means individual payments are likely modest — estimated at a few dollars per person. However, Illinois residents who had biometric data collected may receive higher payments due to the specific BIPA violations. No proof is required to file a claim.
